Definitions and meaning of coronis

coronis

Etymology

From the Latin corōnis, from the Ancient Greek κορωνίς (korōnís, “crasis coronis”, “editorial coronis”); cognate with the French coronis.

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) enPR: kŏrōʹnĭs, IPA(key): /kɒˈɹəʊnɪs/,

Noun

coronis (plural coronides)

  1. (printing, publishing) A device, curved stroke, or flourish formed with a pen, coming at the end of a book or chapter; a colophon. For example: ⸎, ۞.
  2. (figuratively, obsolete, rare) The conclusion of something; the end of something.
    • 1592–1670: Bishop John Hacket, Scrinia reserata: a Memorial offer’d to the great Deservings of John Williams, D.D., Archbishop of York, volume 2, page 38
      The coronis of this matter is thus ; some bad ones in this family were punish’d strictly, all rebuk’d, not all amended.
  3. (Ancient Greek grammar) A character similar to an apostrophe or the smooth breathing written atop or next to a non–word-initial vowel retained from the second word which formed a contraction resulting from crasis; see the usage note.

Usage notes

  • Generally, the Ancient Greek breathings are only written atop initial letters (the consonant rho, initial vowels, and the second vowels of word-initial diphthongs). The coronis is one of only two exceptions to this rule; the other is the case of the double-rho, which is written as ῤῥ.
