How it's used
Primarily used in formal or historical contexts, this term is almost exclusively reserved for the ceremonial crowning of monarchs in Western traditions. It carries a sense of solemnity and state importance that is rarely applied to metaphorical crowning in daily life. When referring to sports or competitions, other terms like 攞冠軍 are preferred instead.
Examples
