- 1權杖（美式拼法；英式作 sceptre）
A scepter is a rod that a king or queen holds as a sign of the right to rule. In pictures of a coronation you often see the crown, the orb, and the scepter together: not tools for work, but signs of office. People also stretch it a little — “the scepter of power” can mean the power itself, not only the metal stick — but that is still the same ceremonial picture. This spelling with -er is the American one; British English . Same object, same word, different letters. It is a formal, ceremonial word. You will meet it in history, fairy tales, and news about royal ceremony, not in the shop. It comes from a Greek word for a staff to lean on.
組成From Greek skeptron, a staff; this -er spelling is the American form of sceptre.
