Definition
The act or process of governing, steering, or controlling; guidance or direction of affairs.
Etymology
From Old French gouvernance, from gouverner (to govern), from Latin gubernare (to steer, control). The word evolved from maritime steering language into general management language during the Middle Ages.
Kelly Says
The word 'governance' and 'gubernance' are essentially the same—both trace back to ancient ship captains, and medieval writers literally thought of ruling a country like steering a ship through dangerous waters.
