Government

Late 14c., “act of governing or ruling;” 1550s, “system by which a thing is governed” (especially a state), from Old French governement (Modern French gouvernement), from governer. Replaced Middle English governance. Meaning “governing power” in a given place is from 1702 (source: www.etymonline.com).

From Latin gubernum, the rudder of the ship, derived from the verb gubernare, translated from the Greek kybernao, to hold the rudder and, figuratively, directing. The root is in fact Greek.

Etymosophy result: conduction, directing.
