King's

Belonging to royalty

King's is the possessive form of king, indicating something belonging to or associated with a monarch: the King's English, the king's ransom.

It frequently appears in institutional names—King's College, King's Cross—where it commemorates royal patronage or connection.

In chess, pieces and squares on the king's side of the board take this modifier: king's bishop, king's pawn.
