Governance is a method or system of government or management.
The base word is govern + ance.
Middle English from Old French from Medieval Latin.
[Origin: 1325–75; ME governaunce < OF < ML gubernantia; govern, -ance]

Word-origin:
The word governance derives from Latin origins that suggest the notion of "steering". One can contrast this sense of "steering" a group or society with the traditional "top-down" approach of governments "driving" society. Distinguish between governance's "power to " and governments' "power over".
