ANADEM — [Noun] A headband, especially a garland of flowers worn as a wreath or crown. Its etymology winds from the Latin anadēma, from the Ancient Greek ἀνάδημα (anádēma, 'head-band'), from ἀναδεῖν (anadeîn, 'to bind up, to wreathe'). Unlike a diadem, which asserts the cold authority of jewels and metal, or a simple garland, which can hang from a neck or a gate, anadem denotes the specific, transient coronation of the head alone. It is the scent of crushed petals warming against a sun-warmed brow, the woven olive leaves dark against an athlete's sweat, the fragile ring of lilies placed upon a coffin—a fleeting perfection bound to the seat of thought, a transient crown made to be outlived by the very breeze that carries its scent.
