How do egyptians choose royalty?
The first pharaoh Narmer declared himself pharaoh over Egypt. The next pharaoh would always be a man and would be of the pharaoh's bloodline. If the pharaoh died early, a male cousin,nephew,etc,would be the next pharaoh. If the only man related to the pharaoh was not approved, the pharaoh would pick a different person, not always of bloodline. Once, a man became a pharaoh just for digging out the Great Spinx. So it wouldn't always be of bloodline.

Why did the Egyptians use the word pharaoh to refer to their ruler even though this word does not literally mean king?
The Egyptian word pharaoh does not directly translate to king because they didn't have a king. They had a Pharaoh. Just like how Americans use the word President and it doesn't directly translate to king. Because they do not have a king. They have a president. Incidentally, Egyptians believed their pharaoh was not just the head of state but also a god. The word "pharaoh" comes from the Egyptian "per-aha" which translates as "big house". Its use is similar to our modern day use of "The Pentagon announced so-and-so" or "Downing Street announced that...", referring to the person that lives there, not the place itself. The term was not used until New Kingdom times, so it is not correct to say that "pharaohs" built the pyramids.
