[ΚΥΒΕΡΝΑΩ, ΚΥΒΕΡΝΩ. The affix is equivalent to Cyber- ,or, Cyberno- (e.g. Cyberspace), and Govern- (all of them are sonic equivalents of the Greek word).
The original word must have been: (Η)ΥΠΕΡΝΑΙΩ (meaning:) "Floating over (something)".
ΝΑΙΩ (v.) = I float. (NAVY = floating). The word for the "ship" in ancient -and both the modern- Greek is: ΝΑΥΣ (pronounced: NAVS, NAFS ). ΝΑΥΤΙΚΟ = the Navy. ΝΑΥΤΙΚΟΣ = the sailor.
(Η)ΥΠΕΡ stands for: OVER ( deutsch: UBER, (S)UPER- ).
The word HIBERNIA (=winter), (just think: Hibernation) has to do with the snow clouds FLOATING OVER the land.
Siberia = HIBERNIA.
IBERIC / IBERIAN (peninsula) = HIBERNIA, too!]
WHAT ABJECTLY UNQUALIFIED NONSENSE!Whatever residue of fact is imbedded in the above statement is immaterial to say the very least.Michaelides, enough is enough. This is the second time I've come across your inconceivably benighted ad-lib drivel masquerading as a serious answer to an earnest question in etymology. Are you actually trying to be helpful here, or are you auditioning for the role of Gus Portokalos in a grade-school production of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"?Should you ever tire of coating everything within reach in idealogue-sopped pseudo-linguisitcs like a petulant toddler flinging creamed spinach from his high-chair and become sincere about rectifying your tragically wayward command of the classics, then feel free to delve into some *competent* texts dealing with Greek and Latin.From a sense of nobless oblige, I'll even get you started; the following is an excerpt from a translation exercise in J.A.C.T's "Reading Greek", 2nd ed. [section 2C, p.26]. - to say that it is apropos this discussion does it not a whit of justice - it all but has your name written on it -let's see how you do!:ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΤΗΣ·(SEE??! Eerie, no? There's more...)οὐδὲν λέγεις. ὦ φίλε, καὶ οὐκ οἶσθα οὐδέν. οὔκουν κάλλιστον τὸν λόγον ποιεῖς. ...σκόπει δή. ἡμεῖς μὲν γὰρ τὰ ἀληθῆ ζητοῦμεν, σὺ δὲ ψευδῆ λέγεις.Happy trails...

The scientific classification of organisms is done using Latin. Binomial nomenclature, a naming system that uses two names to denote each species, was introduced by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century and is still used today in biological classification.
Autonomy :)
Democracy comes from two Greek words demos which means "people" and cratein which means "to rule"
A dictatorship.
Well, would go to the Greek root, with the word demos, which means people, and arche, which means rule. Thus, rule by the people.
Monks live according to a rule that always specifies prayer and work. 'Ora et labora' is not just a play on words but the Latin for 'pray and work'. The most frequently followed rule in the Latin church was the Rule of St. Benedict, and in the Greek church the rule of St. Basil.
The Greek derivation of 'monarchy' comes from the words 'monos' meaning 'alone' or 'single', and 'arkhein' meaning 'to rule' or 'to command'. Combined, 'monarchy' refers to a system of government where one individual holds absolute power and authority over a state or nation.
Latin was the primary language in the Roman Empire, as it became widespread with the expansion of Rome's rule, the stationing of Roman troops and the increase of Roman settlements around the empire. Some areas of the empire saw the development of forms of Vulgar Latin, a mixture of Latin and the languages of the local natives - some of these have survived. Greek was an important language in the eastern part of the empire because the local elites were Greek-speaking. Many writings, particularly those of intellectuals the early Christians in this area were in Greek. Official documents in this area were either in Latin or Greek. The Roman elite's education was both in Latin and Greek and they spoke Greek fluently and often used this language.
The Greek word for "rule" literally means "to umpire".
