About
The character 冠 is an ideogram originally depicting the act of placing ceremonial headgear on a person. It is composed of 冖 (mì), a cover or hat, positioned above 元 (yuán), meaning head or origin. The bottom component 寸 (cùn) represents a hand, showing the gesture of crowning. The character has two related pronunciations: as a noun, it refers to a hat, crown, or crest; as a verb, it means to put on headgear or, by extension, to take first place in a competition.
