Where this word comes from
From fyrste (“prince”) + hus (“house, dynasty”), literally “princely house”. The second element hus (“house”) is used in its transferred sense “family, lineage, dynasty”. Fyrste (“prince”) is from Middle Low German vurste (“prince; literally, first”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *furistaz (“first, foremost”), from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before”). Hus is inherited from Old Norse hús, from Proto-Germanic *hūsą (“house”); its deeper origin is uncertain. Compare the parallel formations Norwegian Nynorsk fyrstehus, Danish fyrstehus, Swedish furstehus, Dutch vorstenhuis and German Fürstenhaus (“princely house”).
