Where this word comes from
Modelled after Middle Low German vurstlik (“princely”) or German fürstlich (“princely”), and synchronically analyzable as fyrste (“prince”) + -lig (“adjective-forming suffix”). The base fyrste (“prince”) is from Middle Low German vurste (“prince; literally, first”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *furistaz (“first, foremost”), from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before”). Compare the parallel formations Norwegian Nynorsk fyrsteleg, Danish fyrstelig, Swedish furstlig, Dutch vorstelijk and German fürstlich (“princely”).
