- O.E. cwen "queen, woman, wife," from P.Gmc. *kwoeniz, from PIE *gwen- "woman, wife" supposedly originally "honored woman" (cf. Greek gynй "a woman, a wife," Gaelic bean, Skt. janis "a woman," gnб "a goddess," Goth. qino "a woman," qйns "a queen"). English seems unique in I.E. in having a word for "queen" that is not a fem. derivative of the one for "king." The original sense seems to have been "wife," specialized to "wife of a king." Of bees, 1609 (until late 17c., they generally were thought to be kings; cf. "Henry V," I.ii); of chess piece, 1440; of playing card, 1575. Meaning "male homosexual" (especially a feminine and ostentatious one) first recorded 1924; probably an alteration of quean in this sense. Queens, the New York borough, was named for Catherine of Braganza, queen of English King Charles II. Queen Anne first used 1881 for "style characteristic of the time of Queen Anne of Great Britain and Ireland," who reigned 1702-14. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
