Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Byzantine Greek βασιλιάς < βασιλέας (basiléas) with synizesis [ʎa] to avoid hiatus. From Ancient Greek βασιλεύς (basileús, “king, leader, prince, emperor”),[1] from Proto-Hellenic *gʷatiléus; the word, attested in some form since Mycenaean times, is of uncertain ultimate etymology; possibly of Anatolian origin.[2] Also see βασίλισσα (basílissa, “queen”).
