Word Origin & History

Führer 
1934, from Führer und Reichskanzler, title assumed by Hitler in 1934 as head of German state, from Ger. Führer "leader," from führen "to lead," from M.H.G. vüeren "to lead, drive," from O.H.G. fuoren "to set in motion, lead," causative of O.H.G. faran "to go, travel," which is cognate with O.E. faran (see fare (v.)). Hitler's title was modeled on Mussolini's Duce.
