crown
A consecrated or dedicated object or state, usually marking separation for a special purpose. In ritual contexts, it denotes a sacred status, most often physical objects or persons set apart for the deity. In practical usage, it refers to (1) the uncut hair of a Nazirite during their vow, (2) sacred diadems or crowns worn by high priests or kings, and (3) a symbolic status of consecration or holiness. The word emphasizes the idea of being set aside, either as a marker of dedication (e.g., the Nazirite's uncut hair), or as a tangible emblem of honored and sanctified status (e.g., crown or diadem).
