Where this word comes from
From fyrste (“prince”) + slekt (“family, lineage”), literally “princely family”. The first element fyrste (“prince”) is from Middle Low German vurste (“prince; literally, first”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *furistaz (“first, foremost”), from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before”). The second element slekt (“family, lineage”) is from Middle Low German slecht (“ancestry, lineage, family”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk fyrsteslekt, Danish fyrsteslægt, Swedish furstesläkt, Dutch vorstengeslacht and German Fürstengeschlecht (“princely family, princely dynasty”).
