Forms:

α. 1600s– porphyrogenitus.

β. 1600s–1700s porphyrogenete, 1700s 1900s– porphyrogenite.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin; partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymon: Latin porphyrogenitus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin porphyrogenitus (adjective) (9th cent.; 12th cent. in a British source) < Byzantine Greek πορϕυρογέννητος (also πορϕυρογεννήτης ) < ancient Greek πορϕυρο- porphyro- comb. form + γεννητός born ( < γεννᾶν to beget, to bring forth, bear ( < γέννα family: see gennete n.) + -τός , suffix forming verbal adjectives); apparently so called either because born in a chamber called the Porphyra ( < ancient Greek πορϕύρα purple: see purpure n. and adj.), or because the emperors customarily wore purple. In β forms partly after French porphyrogénète, adjective and noun (1622). Compare Italian porfirogenito, adjective (a1685).Compare also the following example, showing use of the Latin feminine form to designate a woman:1831 W. Scott Count Robert iii, in Tales of my Landlord 4th Ser. I. 87 Anna Comnena..an imperial Princess, porphyrogenita, or born in the sacred purple chamber.

Originally: a member of the imperial family at Constantinople, reputedly born in a purple-hung or porphyry chamber. Later more generally: a child born after his or her father's accession to a throne. More generally: a member of an imperial or royal reigning family; one belonging to the highest or most privileged ranks. Cf. purple n. 1d.
