中英词源

regal 王室的，豪华的

来自拉丁语 regalis,国王的，王室的，来自 rex,国王，来自 PIE*reg,拉直，管理，统治，词源同 regulate,right.wWW.WENTIYI.CoM

regal: regal: [14] Regal and royal are doublets: that is to say, they come from the same ultimate source, but have diverged over the centuries. This source was rēgālis, a derivative of Latin rēx ‘king’. This came from Indo-European *rēg-, which also produced the Sanskrit ancestor of English rajah, and was a lengthened version of *reg-, source of English rector, regiment, region, regular, reign, right, rule, etc. Regal was probably borrowed direct from Latin, whereas royal was routed via Old French. Also from rēx come regalia [16] and regicide [16].
=> rajah, rector, regiment, region, regular, reign, right, royal, rule
