Eggcorn Forum

Ken Lakritz found higherarchy in 2005. That’s the comparative, and it’s a natural eggcornish interpretation of the spoken word hierarchy. On the radio the more modest higharchy is easier to spot, and that’s where I heard it recently.

The word hierarchy has probably developed the meaning it has from an eggcornical notion that it contains some reference to height, and therefore to rank. It originally signified “sacred governance” or “a leader of sacred rites,” from hieros, “sacred”, and archein, “to lead”. It made its way into English from M.L. via O.Fr., and came to be applied to ranked organizations at the beginning of the 17th c., where it was “probably influenced by higher.”

The same radical is found in hieroglyphics. I found only one “higheroglyphics,” from evangelical writings from 1852. This reference does not make the connection to “sacred writings,” considering them profane.

There is a mass of testimony from ancient profane history, especially as drawn from the monuments paintings and higheroglyphics of that day, which confirms this inference.
