adorea
Latin

Etymology
Disputed. The ancient Romans connected this word to ador (“emmer”) in the sense that in an archaic period a victor would receive an donation of emmer as a reward, or that someone who abounded of emmer or grain generally would be renowned for it (thus accounts Festus).
While adōrea has often been cited to be a clipping of adōrea dōnātiō, Keller instead suggested corōna (“chaplet”) for the underlying noun.[1]
Walde-Hofmann[2] however rejects this connexion and states adōria to be a derivation to adōrō (“to admire”), although there is no other example to be found where -ia derives from verbs.
