From an invisible proto-language.
The etymology of this word comes from an invisible proto-language. If you're confident you know the etymology, feel free to add it, but reader beware should the etymology be added by someone other than the creator of the language!

(Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈdaːria/

dāria (first declension lunar, plural dārī)

Despite my love of the show Daria, the similarity was entirely unintentional. I was always slightly troubled by having separate words for "king" and "queen"—and with a Romance-looking -a ending on "queen" to boot—but not "prince" and "princess". Thus far no one's skewered me for it, but it may be that the Valyrians were not supposed to have separate words for a male and female monarch.
