po-ten-tate
noun :: One who possesses great power or sway; a prince, sovereign, or monarch.
"I said that if that potentate must go over in our ship, why, I supposed he must --but that to my thinking, when the United States considered it necessary to send a dignitary of that tonnage across the ocean, it would be in better taste, and safer, to take him apart and cart him over in sections in several ships." --Twain, Mark
