Managed or controlled the operations and affairs of an organization, system, or group.
From Latin 'administrare' (ad- 'to' + ministrare 'to serve'), originally meaning 'to serve.' The past tense form evolved in English as the standard way to express completed management actions.
The word 'administer' is used in both managing organizations AND giving medicine—because both literally mean 'serving' or 'applying something to someone.' That's why a doctor 'administers' a vaccine!
