the.com/flower crown
A wreath that turns any human into someone the wind takes orders from.
means A circular band of flowers, real or artificial, worn on the head as decoration, often at festivals, weddings, or for a whimsical, nature-touched look.
from A plain compound of "flower" and "crown." "Flower" comes through Old French "flor" from Latin "flos, floris" (a blossom), while "crown" descends from Latin "corona" (a wreath or garland) by way of Old French "corone." The thing itself is far older than the English phrase: woven flower garlands crowned heads in ancient Greece and Rome, where the corona was an honor for victors, poets, and brides — so the modern festival flower crown is, quietly, a descendant of a laurel wreath that traded glory for whimsy.
