Poglavnik () was the title used by Ante Pavelić, leader of World War II Croatian movement Ustaše and of the Independent State of Croatia between 1941 and 1945. ==Etymology and usage== The word was first recorded in a 16th-century dictionary compiled by Fausto Veranzio〔http://www.hrcak.srce.hr/file/95656 〕 as a Croatian term for the Latin word princeps.〔 According to the ''Dictionary of the Croatian Language'' compiled by Vladimir Anić and the ''Croatian Encyclopedic Dictionary'' the word comes from the adjective form "poglavit", which can be loosely translated as "first and foremost" or "respectable, noble, honorable". The adjective is in turn a compound of the Croatian prefix "po-" and the Proto-Slavic word stem "glava" (head). Because it was used by the fascist regime, the title (which had originally meant "head" or "chief" but was rarely used before the 1930s) is never used today in its original sense as it became synonymous with Pavelić and took on negative connotations after World War II. Other etymologically closely related words used in modern Croatian are "poglavica" (translated as "chief", used to identify tribal leaders) and "poglavar" (translated as "head of state", sometimes used for monarchs or elected heads of state). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poglavnik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
