köken: Shortening of the former elölülnök (“president, chairman”, literally “one who sits in front”), from elöl (“in front”) + ül (“to sit”) + -nök (noun-forming suffix indicating an occupation), calque of German Vorsitzender (“chairman”). Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. First attested in 1831.
Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek πρόεδρος (próedros, “one who sits in the first place, president, presiding officer”). By surface analysis, προ- (pro-) + Ancient Greek ἕδρᾱ (hédrā, “seat; session”).
