In Greek the word "aristocracy" is based on the word "aristos" which roughly means "the best." Rule by the best. Since these husk people have no assets other than money and connections they need the veneer of elite education to polish themselves and appear better than the rest of us. It's all a big dog-and-pony show.

I thought the word aristos was older than that, referring to chariot riders maybe?
It's probably older, like you say
