Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the ancient Greek word 'dunasteia', meaning 'power, lordship, rule', stemming from 'dynastes' (lord, ruler) and 'dynamis' (power). It entered Middle French as 'dynastie' in the 16th century before being adopted into English to refer to a succession of rulers from the same family.
