• The word "government" comes from the Latin verb gubernare "to direct, rule, or guide." Which comes from the Greek word kybernan (κυβερνᾶν), which also means "to steer" or "to pilot."

Let's elaborate as to why you seem to misunderstand.

1. Govern: The root of "govern" is the Latin gubernare, meaning "to steer," "to rule," or "to guide." As discussed earlier, it came through Greek (kybernan) and was adapted into Latin.

2. -ment Suffix: The "-ment" in "government" is a common Latin suffix, -mentum, which forms nouns indicating the result or means of an action. It doesn’t imply "mind" in any way. The suffix exists in many English words (like "achievement," "movement," "establishment") and simply turns a verb into a noun referring to an action or result.

3. Mente in Latin and Romance Languages: In Latin, mens, mentis does indeed mean "mind," and in Romance languages like Spanish, mente can mean "mind." However, -mentum in Latin is a grammatical suffix and has nothing to do with "mind" or mental control in this context.

So, "government" etymologically means something closer to "the result of governing" or "the system by which a community is directed or managed." The idea that it means "mind control" is a misconception and does not align with linguistic history or Latin grammar.
