der Fürst, -en
prince
Ein sehr hoher Adeliger, der über ein Gebiet herrscht oder früher herrschte.
The German word "Fürst" is a noun that means "prince" or "lord". It originates from the Old High German word "furisto", which denotes a chief or ruler. "Fürst" typically refers to a noble rank, a sovereign or a leader of a principality.
Similar words in German include "Prinze" (prince) and "Herzog" (duke).
The difference between "Fürst" and "Prinze" is primarily that "Fürst" may imply a higher nobility or a ruler of a territory, while "Prinze" can refer to any son of a monarch with the title of prince, often with not necessarily ruling authority.
