realm

n. kingdom; domain, sphere; region, area

For other meanings see Realm (disambiguation) A Realm is the dominion of a monarch, king or queen, emperor or empress, or another personal sovereign ruler of some sort. The Old French reaume (modern French royaume) was the form of the word first adopted in English; the fixed modern spelling does not appear until the beginning of the 17th century. The word supposedly derives from Med. Lat. regalimen, from regalis, of or belonging to a rex, (king). Realm directly translates into Reich in German, though the word reich is often used as a short form for kingdoms (Königreich) and especially empires (Kaiserreich).
