单词 coroner
释义

coronern.

Brit. /ˈkɒrənə/, /ˈkɒrn̩ə/, U.S. /ˈkɔrənər/
Forms: Middle English– coroner, (Middle English corowner, 1500s corownere, croner, 1600s corroner). See also crowner n.1
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman coruner, corouner, < corune , coroune crown n., the original title being custos placitorum coronæ guardian of the pleas of the crown. The suffix is -er suffix2 2, corresponding to French -ier, Latin -ārius, as in falconer, officer, treasurer, gardener, etc. The title was correctly latinized as corōnārius. But at an early date the ending was confused with that of verbal agents in -er (though never apparently written -or, -our), and was rendered into Latin as corōnātor (already in Magna Carta).
1. An officer of a county, district, or municipality (formerly also of the royal household), originally charged with maintaining the rights of the private property of the crown; in modern times his chief function is to hold inquest on the bodies of those supposed to have died by violence or accident.Believed to be first instituted in 1194 under the ordinance cited below. coroner's inquest: the inquiry or investigation as to the cause of death held by the coroner's court, a tribunal of record, consisting of the coroner and twelve jurymen (the coroner's jury) summoned for the inquest.
