    What’s the original word you asked about? I can’t find it. But yes, ruler as in leader or king

      Ruler, like the 12 inch one. The item you use to also draw straight lines. Not the leader/king meaning of the word.

        Oh wait, I misunderstood your last question, sorry. I thought you were asking if it meant rulers as in measuring device.

        No, rulers diverged in Middle English, from ruelers. Apologies for the misunderstanding
