ALPHA
First Greek letter
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and this primacy gives rise to its extended meanings.
In scientific and technical contexts, alpha designates the first or most dominant in a sequence or hierarchy: an alpha male is the dominant individual in a social group, and alpha particles are a type of radiation.
In finance and investing, alpha measures performance above a benchmark return.
Tech companies release alpha versions of software for early testing before beta versions.
Someone described as alpha projects dominance, confidence, and leadership qualities.
