ἄρχω

Etymology
Of disputed origin:
 * From, which appears to be an inchoative formation from , thus "to begin to fit together" > "to start, rule". Compare 🇨🇬, which Matzinger considered inherited from Indo-European, but which is generally thought to be ultimately a borrowing from Greek.
 * From, and cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. A connection with the Lithuanian is feasible, though the Germanic is thought to derive from a different root.
 * From, from.

Verb

 * 1)  to begin
 * 2)  to lead, rule, govern, command
 * 3)  to be ruler; to hold an archonship
