it is of course, from the Greek and originally indicated a narrow band of white fabric knotted at both ends and tied around the forehead allowing the long ends to rest upon the shoulders. It was a symbol of a king, but in modern English I think the term, "crown" conveys that symbolic meaning more clearly as that has now become our universal symbol of kingship. It would probably be best to explain that in the text . Indeed a short explaination inserted would be a good idea. Thank you for the clarification. I shall add the extra information.
