Etymology
Hierarchical comes from Greek parts hier- meaning 'sacred' and -arch meaning 'rule', because it first described the ranking of priests. You can see the same -arch in monarch ('a single ruler'), so hierarchical means people or things 'arranged in levels of rank' with higher and lower positions.
