C N N .......She Was Officially Coronated In 1953.....

I'm sure her majesty would have had a giggle at that!

[jno]

it's the standard US word, they don't seem to see the connection between crown and coronation.

[ToraToraTora]

Is it jno? Perhaps Pasta can help.

[ichkeria]

Indeed.
Don’t doubt Jake Tapper the maestro :-)

[ichkeria]

jno is correct

I quite like the word "Negatory" when the convoy leader is asked if there is a toilet in the next five miles.

[anneasquith]

I doubt jake and Anderson would make that error .

[DTCwordfan]

no wonder that our Pond cousins don't understand the concept of Coronation Chicken....

[douglas9401]

1. having or wearing a crown, coronet, or the like. transitive verb. 2. to crown (a sovereign)

[jno]

tbh it's easier to derive "coronate" from "coronation" than to derive "coronation" from "crown", whch sounds like the work of some medieval latinist.

I've just seen this. I've been here too long to comment. "Coronated" just sounds weird...like a made-up word. I've never heard it before...but there haven't been many opportunities since 1953.
