/ˈmɑnərk/,

/ˈmɑˌnɑrk/

Forms: late Middle English monarcha, late Middle English–1600s monark, late Middle English–1600s monarke, 1500s monache, 1500s monarche, 1500s monarcke, 1500s monarque, 1500s–1600s monarck, 1500s– monarch.

Etymology: < Middle French monarche, monarch (c1370; French monarque (1530 in Middle French)) and its etymon post-classical Latin monarcha (6th cent. in translations of Greek texts; frequently from 10th cent. in British sources) < Byzantine Greek μονάρχης (4th cent.), alteration (with suffix substitution) of ancient Greek μόναρχος ( > post-classical Latin monarchus (6th cent. in translations of Greek texts; frequently from 8th cent. in British sources)) < μονο- mono- comb. form + ἄρχειν to rule (see archon n.²). Compare Italian monarca (1304), Spanish monarca (c1400), Portuguese monarca (1552 as monarcha ). In sense 4 after scientific Latin Monarcha, genus name (N. A. Vigors & T. Horsfield in Trans. Linn. Soc. (1827) 15 254) < post-classical Latin monarcha monarch n.¹, so named because of the resemblance of the strong bill of these birds to that of the kingbirds (tyrant flycatchers of the genus Tyrannus).With sense 2 compare earlier sovereign n. 4b, and perhaps also French monarque in slang use denoting a 5-franc piece (because of the image on the coin; 1827).

Subsequently also: any ruler or sovereign bearing the title of king, queen, emperor, empress, or the equivalent of one of these. absolute monarch: see absolute adj. and n.
