Etymology of REIGNS
The word "reigns" is derived from the Old French word "reigne" which is a variant of the Old French word "regne", meaning "reign, rule, or realm". This can be traced back to the Latin word "regnum", meaning "kingdom" or "royal power". Ultimately, "regnum" is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*h₃reg-", which means "to straighten, direct, or rule". This Sanskrit root also gave rise to words like "raj" (rule) and "raja" (king) in the Indo-Aryan languages. From Latin, the word "reigns" was borrowed into English, retaining its meaning of holding royal power or ruling.
