Usage:
Kingly,
Regal. Kingly is Anglo-Saxon, and refers
especially to the character of a king; regal is Latin,
and now relates more to his office. The former is
chiefly used of dispositions, feelings, and purposes
which are kinglike; as, kingly sentiments; kingly
condescension;
“ a kingly heart for enterprises.”
--Sir P. Sidney. The latter is oftener applied to
external state, pomp, etc.; as, regal state, regal
title, etc. This distinction is not observed by our
early writers, but is gaining ground.
[1913 Webster]
