German edit
Etymology edit
From Middle High German thrōn, trōn, from Old French tron, from Latin thronus, from Ancient Greek θρόνος (thrónos, “seat, place of honour”).
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
Thron m (strong, genitive Thrones or Throns, plural Throne)

Usage notes edit
This and other words of Greek origin were unaffected by the spelling reform that changed the "th" in e.g. Thier to "t" (Tier).
