"mogul" meaning in English

See mogul in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈməʊɡ(ə)l/, /ˈmoʊɡəl/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-mogul.wav Forms: moguls [plural]
Etymology: Figurative use of Moghul, which originally meant Mongol, or person of Mongolian descent. In this context, it refers to the Mughal Empire (Mughal being Persian or Arabic for "Mongol") of the Indian Subcontinent that existed between 1526 and 1857: the early Mughal emperors claimed a heritage dating back to the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan. The modern meaning of the word is supposedly derived from the storied riches of the Mughal emperors, which, for example, produced the Taj Mahal. Head templates: {{en-noun}} mogul (plural moguls)
