Etymologie (Engels)

From Old Spanish amirate reinterpreted as a present participle with the suffix -ante and under influence from Arabic ال (al-, “the, of the”), from Medieval Latin amiratus, from Byzantine Greek ἀμιράς (amirás), from Arabic أَمِير (ʔamīr, “commander”), particularly Arabic أمير الأمراء (ʔamīr al-umarāʔ, “emir of emirs, commander-in-chief”) as used as a title for important commanders in Norman Sicily in the mid-12th century.
