Answer

CHIEF

CHIEF refers to a leader or the person with the highest rank in an organization. The word comes from Old French 'chef' meaning head or leader, which itself derives from Latin 'caput' meaning head. Today we use it in many contexts from Native American tribal leaders to corporate executives like the Chief Executive Officer.

Strategy Tip

Words with the CH combination are fairly common in English. If you discover a C in your puzzle, consider whether CH might be the opening pair, as it appears in many everyday words.
