👉 The term "toparchy" is a Greek word that refers to an order of precedence, especially in the context of language and grammar. It was used by ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle to describe the hierarchical structure of ideas and concepts. In modern usage, it represents the formal and logical structure of sentences, where the most important words or phrases are placed at the beginning of a sentence, followed by subordinate clauses and more subordinate clauses, and so on until the end of the sentence.
