the.com/chair
the only throne you've earned simply by being tired enough to sit down.
means A piece of furniture with a seat, back, and usually four legs, designed for one person to sit on.
from From Old French 'chaiere' (seat, throne), which came from Latin 'cathedra' — literally a seat, and the same word that gives us 'cathedral,' the church built around a bishop's chair. That Latin term was borrowed from Greek 'kathedra,' from 'kata' (down) plus 'hedra' (seat) — so a chair is, at root, simply a place to settle down.
