Correct spelling for the English word "Heretoch" is [hˈɛɹətˌɒk], [hˈɛɹətˌɒk], [h_ˈɛ_ɹ_ə_t_ˌɒ_k] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
The word Heretoch is derived from the Old English term here and toch. Here meant army or host, while toch referred to a leader or chief. The combination of these two elements gave rise to heretoch, which originally denoted a military commander or leader of an armed force in Old English. Over time, the term evolved into heretoga and eventually transformed into the modern English word general.
