Principal vs Principle As a noun, principal refers to (1) one who holds a presiding position or rank, and (2) capital or property before interest, and it’s also an adjective meaning (3) first or most important in rank. The head of a primary or secondary school is a principal. Principle is only a noun. In its primary sense, it refers to a basic truth, law, assumption, or rule. Though the words sound alike and share a distant origin in the Latin princeps (meaning first or original), they come from separate French sources and have always been different words in English. Examples Principal >The upcoming production of the webisode, “The Roomers” is now casting for principal actors. >The school principal notified students’ parents about the case by e-mail and by posting a letter on the school Web site.
