The answer
ALPHA
What alpha means
The dominant individual in a group, or the first letter of the Greek alphabet, or the earliest version of a software product released for testing.
Where the word comes from
Alpha comes from the Greek letter α (alpha), which was the first letter of the Greek alphabet. The Greeks borrowed the name from Phoenician *aleph, meaning "ox"—the shape of the letter supposedly resembled an ox's head. The word entered English through Latin and Greek scholarly traditions, eventually becoming standard in English for both the Greek letter itself and the figurative sense of being first or dominant.
