chancellor of the exchequer

🏛️ canciller = sounds like 'cancel-yer' — the chancellor cancels your request

Canciller comes from Latin cancellarius, an official who worked at the cancelli (lattice screens) of a court. The English 'chancellor' shares this root, so the first syllables 'canc-' link both words.
