köken: Inherited from Byzantine Greek βασιλιάς < βασιλέας (basiléas) with synizesis [ʎa] to avoid hiatus. From Ancient Greek βασιλεύς (basileús, “king, leader, prince, emperor”), from Proto-Hellenic *gʷatiléus; the word, attested in some form since Mycenaean times, is of uncertain ultimate etymology; possibly of Anatolian origin. Also see βασίλισσα (basílissa, “queen”).
magnate (person of rank, influence or distinction, especially of nobility or industry)
çekim: çoğul magnatoj
köken: Ultimately from Late Latin magnātēs, plural of magnās, from magnus (“great”). Compare French magnat, Italian magnate, Polish magnat, Russian магнат (magnat).
Borrowed from Late Latin magnātus, derived from magnus (“great”). The historic senses are influenced by Polish magnat, Hungarian mágnás, both from the same Latin word.
