воевода
See also: воѥвода
Bulgarian
Etymology
From Proto-Slavic *vojevoda, identical to вой (voj, “army”) (dated) + -е- (-e-) + вод (vod, “conduction”), a calque of Ancient Greek στρατηγός (stratēgós) (or formed in the same logic as it). Compare the Germanic borrowing херцо́г (hercóg, “duke”) from Proto-Germanic *harjatugô (“army commander”).
