Pretty sure that the word servant had its origins from Latin (servus).
- elcapitan 8y agoObviously I meant the idea of a leader as a servant, not the word.
- chrisper 8y agoWasn't so obvious to me. Sorry, I misread it.
- icebraining 8y agoI think they're talking specifically about "servant leaders", not servants in general.
- degenerate 8y agoIt's very clear: the Prussian mention is to the origin of "servant leaders" and not referencing the origin of the actual word "servant".
- ordinaryperson 8y agoThe Roman emperor was known as "princeps civitatis" aka "first citizen". The language obviously implied the emperor was just the first among equals, although more a political framing than actual attitude held by emperors.
