- 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

古罗马七丘之一巴勒登丘（Palatine）起初是罗马古城的主要部分。后来，随着城市的发展，巴勒登就成了达官贵人、时髦的上流阶层的聚居区。古罗马政治家西塞罗（Cicero，公元前106-43）和阴谋家加蒂兰（Catiline，公元前108-62）的府第就在这里。整个巴勒登丘的山坡上，有钱人家的房舍鳞次栉比。
到了尼禄（罗马暴君，Nero，公元37-68年，在位期间54-68年）当朝时，他想独霸巴勒登山丘，就下令将住房夷为平地。他的建筑师为他精心设计了一套住所，取名叫“palatium”，字面意思是“在巴勒登丘之上”，是那里的第一座宫殿。
法兰西国王参照palatium这个词，把自己住的宫殿叫作“palais”。这个词进入英语后，起初写作paleys，后来演变成今天的palace。
