So that this article may be properly encyclopedic, the origin of the term "Arista" should be explained. Where does the word come from and is it an acronym? 173.88.241.33 (talk) 05:58, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Arista is the Greek word for "the best"; usually encountered in the masculine adjectival form άριστος (aristos), and derivations therefrom, such as aristocracy, literally "rule by the best". Nuttyskin (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
