    [Noun]  | "boss" | \ ˈbȯs \


    1: a person who exercises control or authority; specifically : one who directs or supervises workers

    2: someone who controls votes in a party organization or dictates appointments or legislative measures

    3: a major antagonist in a game (such as a video game or board game) and usually one that must be overcome in order for a player to progress —often used before another noun

    Origin: 1806 ;

     Borrowed from Dutch baas "master, person in authority," earlier, "friend and master, head of a household," going back to Middle Dutch baes, used as a surname, of uncertain origin;

      * Note : Compare late Middle Low German bas "superintendent of dikes," Frisian baas "master," the latter perhaps a loanword from Dutch. A relationship with Old High German basa "father's sister," German Base, name for various female relatives, is very unlikely. — The word boss was borrowed in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from New York and New Jersey Dutch; as a name for a person in authority in Dutch it is already reported in New England in 1653—see: citations in Oxford English Dictionary, first edition, and M. Mathews, Dictionary of Americanisms (though the alleged use by John Winthrop is most likely a misreading—see: The Journal of John Winthrop 1630-1649 [Cambridge, 1996], p. 161). The adoption of Dutch long as a rounded vowel is paralleled by {dollar|dollar}.;
