The ... #WhatsTheWord-- #Hierarchy? of Life (e.g. into Species of Genuses of Families of Orders of Classes of Phyla of ...) @tes

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to tes's page on the 'classification & organization' (words I think I've already "done") of life) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Hierarchy” (like #Hierarch #Hierarchal #Hierarchic #Hierarchical) is built on ancient words that mean "the Sacred |Rites (see |Ire) + to Lead, Rule (see Archon)" (initially referring to the Three Divisions of the Nine Orders of Angels, then applied to the Ranked Organization of People in a Group (e.g. the Clergy, the Royalty, a Company)).

I guess that's how biologists classify every life-form.

  • Each life-form (for example, the Human) is a member of a
  • Species (Sapiens) that's part of a
  • Genus  (Homo ... a genus of-which 'Sapiens' are the only living specie) that's part of a
  • Family (Hominids ... including humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas) that's part of an
  • Order (Primate ... animals with flat nails instead of claws or hooves, and massive brains) that's part of a
  • Class (Mammalia) that's part of a
  • Phylum (Chordata) that's part of a
  • Kingdom (Animalia) that's part of a
  • Domain (Eukaryota)
