comment

Ancient Greek δεσπότης from an original phrase from Proto-Indo-European *déms pótis 'master of the house', from *dṓm 'house', whence also Ancient Greek δόμος 'house'; and *pótis 'master'; with an ending influenced by -της (masculine adjectival suffix). Cognate with Sanskrit dám-pati (दम्पति) 'lord of the house'.

Descendants of Proto-Indo-European *pótis also are Albanian pata 'I had (aorist)', 'I was in possession of something', Lithuanian pàts 'husband', 'self (singular masculine)', Proto-Slavic *potь (in *gospodь and *potьběga 'divorced wife'), Gothic *faþs (attested only in compounds brūþfaþs 'bridegroom', hundafaþs 'centurion', swnagōgafaþs 'leader of a synagogue', þūsundifaþs 'tribune, leader of thousand'), Sanskrit páti 'lord, master, owner, husband', Avestan paiti 'husband, lord, master', Classical Armenian pet (պետ) 'chief, commander' (from Parthian *pet), Middle Persian -pt' (/-bed/) 'lord, master', Persian -bod 'lord, master', Latin possum 'I can, I am able'.

comment

When בעל has the sense of husband, it is always inflected to indicate a possessor. In the case that its possessor is not a personal pronoun, this produces some redundancy; for example, "Miriam's husband" is translated as בעלה של מרים (ba`aláh shel Miryam), which literally means "her-husband of Miriam". (This sort of construction can occur with other nouns as well, but usually only in more formal contexts.) When בעל has the sense of owner, it is seldom so inflected.
