coronavirus - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

A colourized transmission electron micrograph of the Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus that emerged in 2012

From corona (crown-like circle of light appearing around the sun) +‎ virus.[1][2] Corona is derived from Latin corōna (garland, wreath; crown), from Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, something curved; curved stern of a ship; end, point, tip), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (to bend, turn). The name refers to the characteristic appearance of its virions by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a solar corona.[3] Compare the former genus name Coronavirus.
