Words under the lens: "GOVERNMENTAL"
and "ADMINISTRATION"
Recently, a friend asked to know the makeup of the word "government".
This word gives the impression that its root is
the word "govern" -
but this is not so as we will see below.
1. GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENTAL:
From the Oxford American Dictionaries, we have the following definition for
the term "government":
government, noun,
the governing body of a nation, state, or community ;
• the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed ;
• the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or
people;
• the group of persons in office at a particular time; administration.
DERIVATIVES: governmental, governmentally
The English word GOVERNMENTAL, rearranged letter-by-letter
as "GNONL-ETAREVM"
or "GANONLE-ETRUM",
is the anagrammatized and restructured form of the Turkish expression "KANUNLA
IDAREYIM" meaning
"I am administration with laws", "I am management with laws
(with rules)". This Turkish definition is exactly the same
as the meaning attributed to the English word "government" as
given above using Oxford American Dictionaries.
Additionally, the word GOVERNMENTAL, rearranged as "GANVNL-TOREEM", is the
anagrammatized and restructured form of the Turkish expression "KANUNLU TÖREYIM" meaning "I
am tradition with laws" or "I
am tradition of laws".
Turkish word KANUN means "law,
rule", KANUNLA means "with
law, with rule", IDARE means "management,
administering, governing, ruling", TÖRE means "tradition;
law, rule".
The word GOVERNMENT is
just the front end of the word GOVERNMENTAL without
the "-
The word GOVERN is
yet another cut off front end of the word GOVERNMENTAL -
therefore even this word GOVERN is
not the root word of GOVERNMENT. The actual root word is GOVERNMENTAL and
the other forms are simply cut-off derivatives of GOVERNMENTAL .
A similar word to "government" is
the word "administration" which
is defined as below:
2. ADMINISTRATION:
administer: "manage and be responsible for the
running of (a business, organization, etc.); be responsible for the
implementation or use of (law or resources)".
administration: "the
process or activity of running a business, organization, etc. ;
the people responsible for this, regarded collectively; the management of
public affairs; government".
ORIGIN Middle
English : from Latin administratio(n-),
from the verb administrare (see administer ).
The English word ADMINISTRATION, rearranged
letter-by-letter as "ISMIN-IDARA-TNTO" or "SMN-IDARA-ITINTO" is
the anagrammatized and restructured form of the Turkish expression "ISMIN
IDARE EDENDI" meaning "your name is:
he/she who rules, he/she who governs, he/she
who administers, he/she who manages". Clearly, this Turkish
definition is the same as the definition of the English word ADMINISTRATION.
The additional Turkish word "ISMIN" has been used as a
linguistic "wrapper" in order to extend the size of the source
Turkish expression "IDARE EDEN" so that it may be
further confused to the degree of unrecognizable as Turkish. Thus, this
decipherment shows that the word ADMINISTRATION has also been fabricated from
Turkish.
Turkish expression IDARE EDEN means "he/she
who rules, he/she
who governs, he/she
who administers, he/she who manages"
In both cases, that is, GOVERNMENT and ADMINISTRATION,
law, rule and fair administration are required as the fundamental principles of
the concept of government. Without laws and rules, chaos would rule any
system.
Similarly, the Latin word "administratio(n)" is
also the same as the English word "administration".
Thus, the much earlier Latin word "administratio(n)" has
also been manufactured from Turkish some 3000 years ago.
Best wishes to all,
