κατακυριεύουσιν and κατεξουσιάζουσιν (Matthew 20:25)

A reader asks:

"Does κεφαλή (the head) have any relationship with katakyrieusin (lord it over) or katexousiazousin (wield authority over) from Mt 20:25?"

I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Both of these are compounds of other Greek words, but not of kephale, it seems. See https://biblehub.com/greek/2634.htm and https://biblehub.com/greek/2715.htm
