How about:

Java ... now says:
"Class Object is the root of the class hierarchy. Every class has
Object as a superclass. All objects, including arrays, implement the
methods of this class."
Either for me, but I feel I should draw attention to the spelling. (Java
is right.)
Ironically, the word derives from priesthood (hieratic), not from
inheritance (heir).
