 The best I can offer is an attempted etymology (that old Etymological Fallacy
 again!):
 AUTOS + hENTHS a workman on his own initiative; a self-starter; one who
 seizes the initiative; one who usurps authority over another; one who governs
 or exercises dominion over someone/something.

 AUQENTEIN ANDROS (genitive): to use authority /over/ a man (not just a
 husband); to 'lord it' over someone.

 Sorry, no documentation. Just what I've been told....
