Definition
The position, office, or authority of a dictator; dictatorship (archaic or rare usage).
Etymology
From Old French dictature, from Latin dictatura. An archaic variant of 'dictatorship,' preserving the older Romance language form.
Kelly Says
This is basically a very old-fashioned version of 'dictatorship' that you'll mainly find in historical texts and documents from centuries past—it shows how word forms have evolved over time.
