Archiamphiaster is a difficult word to spell due to its length and complexity. It is pronounced /ɑrkˈiæmfɪˌæstər/ and has roots in ancient Greek. The word is made up of three parts: archi-, meaning "chief" or "principal", amphi-, meaning "both" or "on both sides", and -aster, which is a suffix denoting "a person who does something". Therefore, archiamphiaster refers to someone who holds a high position and has influence over both sides of an issue or group. This word is not commonly used in modern English.
