Prince
A prince is a male ruler ranked below a king and above a duke or member of a monarch’s or former monarch’s family. Prince is also a title of nobility, often hereditary, in some European states. The feminine equivalent is a princess. The English word derives, via the French word prince, from the Latin noun princeps, from primus (first) + capio (to seize), meaning “the chief, most distinguished, ruler, prince”.
