Αρχή (arhi) in Greek has two meanings 'Authority', either legal or moral and 'Principle'. Πατήρ (patir) in Ancient Greek and Πατέρας (pateras) in modern means 'father'. The status quo, in societies, cultures (or households) where the father figure or the men are setting the rules, the moral standards and the laws is called ΠΑΤΡΙΑΡΧΙΑ/PATRIARCHY
