Definition
A chief leader; the principal or supreme leader of a group, movement, or organization.
Etymology
From 'archi-' (chief, principal) combined with 'leader' (one who leads). This construction follows the pattern of using 'arch-' to elevate a standard role to indicate supreme or principal status.
Kelly Says
While we don't use 'archleader' in modern English, languages like German actually do use similar constructions more readily—'Anführer' combines 'an-' (like arch-) with 'führer' to create this exact meaning, which is why historical texts about Germany use 'Führer' as the title for supreme leaders.
