Echo used hierarchical taxonomies parent name

Question

I want to echo my hierarchical taxonomies parents which i used in my posts. I've see answers about that, but no one didn't help me. Now i using <?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'mytaxname', '', ' / ', ' ' ); ?> to get all taxonomies. But i want to get only parents of used tax's. But i need simplest answer, because i'm not good at PHP. Hope to get answer. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Try this:

<?php
  $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
  $parent = get_term($term->parent, get_query_var('taxonomy') );

  echo $parent->name;
?>

You have to get the current term slug and then use get_term by the slug and then echo the name.
