The supreme or chief philosopher; a preeminent thinker or the most respected philosophical authority in a society.
From 'arch-' (chief) plus 'philosopher' (from Greek 'philosophos,' lover of wisdom). The compound suggests the highest ranking or most accomplished philosopher.
Imagine calling Aristotle the 'archphilosopher'—he'd be the undisputed top thinker everyone else looks to for answers, which is kind of what he was in ancient times!
