Its the name of a movie with Luke Wilson and Dax Shepard and I was just wondering if it is in fact made up or an actual word?

It is made from two Greek words IDIOT(ΙΔΙΩΤΗΣ) was the fool, the one who did not interfere in public life in ancient Greece.The second word is ΚΡΑΤΟΣ (KRATOS) which means power.
There is also the word Idiosyncrasy(ΙΔΙΟΣΥΓΚΡΑΣΙΑ) which means way of thinking or behaving that is peculiar to a person, personal mannerism

"Sure, there are some things I've done that I regret. But a president doesn't get do-overs." George W. Bush when asked if he has made some mistakes in his term of office. I used the word "do-over" back in grade school. I'm not in grade school any more. To use such a term with regard to loss of human life in war must make the families of the dead soldiers feel much relief that their loved ones did not die in vain. (Sarcasm intended.)

I don't believe it is a word, but I double-checked Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online just to be sure. Here 'idio' is being used as a broken contraction of the French 'idiot' (which is what the title is trying to convey) and the Latin '-cratia' referring to a 'theory of social organization.'

It's the name of a movie. The accepted word is idiosy.

It's not really a word, but the government of the U.S. could easily be described with that word
(I live in the U.S.)

The current administration made its acceptance into the English language inevitable.

I couldn't find anything, so I suppose it's made up?
