Amacratic

/ˌæməˈkrætɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by a lack of ruling power or the absence of government authority.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'makros' (power or rule). This rare term combines the prefix meaning 'without' with a Greek root suggesting authority or dominion.

Kelly Says

This ultra-rare word sits in the political philosophy dictionary gathering dust, describing anarchic states that most people would just call 'chaotic' instead—it's the kind of word scholars invent but nobody actually uses.
