The act of crowning; the ceremony or process of placing a crown on someone; crowning or coronation.
From 'crown' + '-ment' (suffix denoting an action, state, or result). This follows the pattern of '-ment' words like 'payment,' 'enjoyment,' and 'government.'
The suffix '-ment' is Latin in origin and appears in hundreds of English nouns—it's so common we barely notice it, but it's one of the most important ways English builds abstract nouns!
