Regal
RE’GAL, a. [L. regalis, from rex, L. rectus. See Reck and Reckon.]
Pertaining to a king; kingly; royal; as a regal title; regal authority; regal state, pomp or splendor; regal power or sway. But we say, a royal or kingly government, not a regal one. We never say, a regal territory, regal dominions, regal army, or regal navy. Regal expresses what is more personal.
RE’GAL, n. A musical instrument.
