Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αρχηγός' meaning 'leader' comes from the Ancient Greek 'ἀρχηγός', which is a compound of 'ἀρχή' (archē, meaning 'beginning' or 'rule') and 'ἡγεῖσθαι' (hēgeisthai, meaning 'to lead'). The word has maintained its meaning related to leadership and authority throughout its history.
