[Alternative forms]
- churche (obsolete)
[Etymology]
Middle English chirche < Old English ċiriċe, from West Germanic *kirika, from Ancient Greek κυριακόν (kuriakon), neuter form of κυριακός (“belonging to the lord”) from κύριος (kurios, “ruler, lord”). For vowel evolution, see bury. Greek κυριακόν (kuriakon) was used of houses of Christian worship since circa 300 AD, especially in the East, though it was less common in this sense than ἐκκλησία (ekklēsia, “congregation”) or βασιλική (basilikē, “royal thing”). An example of the direct Greek-to-Germanic progress of many Christian words, via the Goths; it was probably used by West Germanic people in their pre-Christian period. Cognate with West Frisian tsjerke, Dutch kerk, German Kirche, Danish kirke, Swedish kyrka, Norwegian kirke or kyrkje, and Icelandic kirkja. Also picked up by Slavic, via Old High German chirihha (compare Old Church Slavonic црькъі (crĭky), Russian церковь (cérkov’)). Romance and Celtic languages use variants of Latin ecclesia.
