Where this word comes from
Modelled after Middle Low German vorstinne (“princess; female ruler”), and synchronically analyzable as fyrste (“sovereign prince, ruler”) + -inne (“feminine noun suffix”). The base fyrste (“sovereign prince, ruler”) 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 fyrstinne, Danish fyrstinde, Swedish furstinna, Dutch vorstin and German Fürstin (“princess, female sovereign”).
