Answer 2

The term "shire" originates from the Old English word "scir," which referred to a district or region governed by a royal official. In England, shires were administrative divisions established during the Anglo-Saxon period, and they later evolved into counties. The concept of shires has influenced administrative divisions in other English-speaking countries like the United States and Australia.
