ine-pro From Middle English patriark, patriarche, from patriarcha; later reinforced by Old French patriarche, from Ancient Greek πατριάρχης (the founder of the tribe/family), from Ancient Greek πατριά (generation, ancestry, descent, tribe, family) + -ᾰ́ρχης (-arch), with some senses likely influenced directly by pāter or πᾰτήρ. Compare matriarch. patri-.
