'amphicome' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'amphikomos,' where 'amphi-' meant 'around' and 'komos' meant 'hair.'

'amphikomos' transformed into the Latin word 'amphicoma,' and eventually became the modern English word 'amphicome.'

Initially, it meant 'a headband worn around the hair,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'an ornamental headband or crown.'
