Etymology
The word 'imperial' has its origins in the Latin word 'imperialis', which means 'of or relating to an empire'. The term was first recorded in English in the late 14th century. Over time, 'imperial' came to be associated with the grandeur and power of empires, as well as with the British Empire in particular. Today, the word is used to describe things that are regal, grand, or imposing in nature.
