is a definitive title in amharic-language, used for a king and at times also a vassal ruler in pre-1974 ethiopiaand pre-1890 eritrea. It is subsequently used to translate the word "king" in Biblical and other literature. It is a noun derived from the ancient Semitic verbal root N - G - Åš meaning "to reign."

To my knowledge, it is not a bastardization of the word 'Niger' or the racial slur, 'n*@@%r'.... I think people should study this word and the proper contexts in which to use it... (I found this all out today. Believe me, I was pleasantly surprised.)

However, out of respect, I think people should not use this word indiscriminately. It is an exlposively-charged word.
