It comes from pr aA "great house" which is a term for palace in Middle Egyptian. The use of pr aA as a reference to the king is first attested in the reign of Tutmose III, 18th Dynasty, New Kingdom, but the term is frequently applied to all Egyptian kings before and after the reign of Tutmose. Prior to the 18th Dynasty, the term pr aA was used, but in reference to the actual palace or court, rather than the king himself. By the 19th Dynasty, pr aA was used with relative frequency, often interchanged with "'his majesty" in texts.
A similar term, Xnw (roughly pronounced henew) meaning "(royal) Residence" is used in earlier periods in a similar way, meaning as much the place as the person (eg. the king) who lived there.
The ordinary word for king is nsw, less comon is ity, usually translated "sovreign." Nb, "lord" is also used, usually determined with a seated figure wearing a crown with uraeus. Other terms that were applied to the king were Hm "majesty" usually with a pronoun such as Hm=f "his majesty;" nTr nfr "the good/beautiful god;" nb tAwy "lord of the 2 lands;" and Hr nb aH "Horus, lord of the castle." This is in addtion to the 5 part titulary each king had - a practice established by about mid-way through the Old Kingdom.

Well idk about thorough but I will give it a go. The king wakes up only to find 20 young women ready to help him with his morning bath. After that he consult with his advisors on the issues that come in trying to run an empire. Issues such as food production, enemy invasion from the east, improving the quality of life in the capital. After getting done with the boring part of his day, our pharaoh start his morning breakfast. See, our pharaoh doesn't need to waste his time with these matters. He has advisors that do all the work he doesn't. His chief concern is money and his own personal happiness. Another meal in the afternoon. A walk in his great gardens in the evenning, and a feast at dinner time. Then he retires to his chambers to find his 29 young women ready to "help" him fall asleep. The pharaohs lived like gods because they were considered gods.
