English

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Latin patriarcha; later reinforced by Old French patriarche, from Byzantine Greek ?????????? (patriárkh?s, “the founder of the tribe/family”), from Ancient Greek ?????? (patriá, “generation, ancestry, descent, tribe, family”) + -?????? (-árkh?s, “-arch”), with some senses likely influenced directly by Latin p?ter (“father”) or Ancient Greek ????? (pat?r, “father”). Compare matriarch. Surface analysis patri- +? -arch.
