小知识
Put simply, your sovereign is your king or queen. George III was the sovereign of Great Britain and her colonies — including the American ones. At least he was until a little thing called the Revolutionary War upset everything.
Sovereign as an adjective can be used to indicate the ultimate power of a state, whether a monarchy or not, as in “Peru exercised its sovereign rights to all minerals within its borders.” A sovereign is also a British gold coin with a face value of one pound sterling (with the monarch's face on it). But don't sell it for a pound, because it's worth its weight in gold — quite literally — which is a lot more than a pound is worth.

词源词缀
来源于拉丁语介词super(上,超过)在古法语中派生的souverein(统治者);词尾的变化是受了英语reign(君主统治)的影响。前缀sover相当于前缀super“在…之上”,体会v-p音变,比如单词seven与前缀sept(七)之间的变化;后缀-eign受到了单词reign(统治)的影响。该词根义为“凌驾于他人之上的人”。前缀super还引申有superior(上级)、superb(极好的)等词。=来自古法语soverain,最高的,主要的,来自通俗拉丁语*superanus,主要的,基础的,来自拉丁语super,在上,超过,比较级形式自sub,在上,词源同superman,soprano.引申比喻义最高统治权的,主权的,引申名词词义君主,元首。拼写受-reign影响俗化。
