@divegeester saidPremium, like in "first of their kind"?
“Premium subscribers” have all sorts of perks, like getting people removed from the website.
@divegeester saidI know ๐, that is what "primus" means, the etymological root however is the same.
That’s not what “premium” means.

@ponderable saidI don’t think it is; one is related to chronology and the other to quality. One of the German derivatives related to chronology might have descended from it, but it isn’t the root.
I know ๐, that is what "primus" means, the etymological root however is the same.
In the example given by Gravedigger “premium” relates to quality or reward.
@ponderable saidIn English, "premium" comes from Latin praemium ( "prize" ).
I know ๐, that is what "primus" means, the etymological root however is the same.
Whereas "primary" is borrowed from Latin prฤซmฤrius ( "of the first (rank); chief, principal; excellent" ).
... but I just googled that ... I have great respect for people such as yourself @ponderable who can make sense in more than one language.
I do manages to mangle my Englishering in a mono-linguistic way all of it's ownness. N'est-ce pas?

@ponderable saidColloquially, 'premium' is often used in conversation to mean best quality or most important. For example, she is a premium member so we give her all the best biscuits. (The best biscuits could also be described as premium). So although 'first of their kind' isn't a correct definition, one could, at a stretch, use it to mean 'most important of their kind.'
Premium, like in "first of their kind"?
