Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /des.pó.tɛːs/, /ðesˈpo.tis/, /ðesˈpo.tis/, /des.pó.tɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /desˈpo.te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ðesˈpo.tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ðesˈpo.tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ðesˈpo.tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *déspotis, an original phrase from Proto-Indo-European *déms pótis (“master of the house”), from *dṓm (“house”), whence also Ancient Greek δόμος (dómos, “house”); and *pótis (“master”), whence also Ancient Greek πόσις (pósis, “husband”); with an ending influenced by -της (-tēs, masculine adjectival suffix). Cognate with Sanskrit दम्पति (dám-pati, “lord of the house”).
