Whats the origins or the word "government"?

Question

What are the origins of "government" and what does the word mean translated into greek latin or whatever?

Answer 1

A government is a body that has the authority to make and the power to enforce laws within a civil, corporate, religious, academic, or other organization or group. In its broadest sense, "to govern" means to administer or supervise, whether over a state, a set group of people, or a collection of assets.

The word government is ultimately derived from the Greek κυβερνᾶν (kybernan), which means "to steer" or "to control" and the latin mente which means "mind".

Typically, "the government" refers to the executive function of the state. In many countries (particularly those having parliamentary systems), the government refers to the executive branch of government or a specifically named executive, such as the Blair government (compare to the administration as in the Bush administration in U.S. usage). In countries using the Westminster system, the party in government will also usually control the legislature

Answer 2

The origin of the word 'government' is Middle English: from Old French 'governement', from governer or 'govern' which comes from Latin gubernare ‘to steer, rule,’ from Greek kubernan ‘to steer'.
