[‘anarchy’ refers to a [‘society’ / ‘entity’, group of people, or a single person that rejects ‘hierarchy’]
.
The word originally meant ‘leaderlessness’, but in 1840 Pierre-Joseph Proudhon adopted the term in his treatise What Is Property? to refer to a new political philosophy: anarchism, which advocates stateless societies based on voluntary associations.
In practical terms, anarchy can refer to the curtailment or abolition of traditional forms of government and institutions.
It can also designate a nation—or anywhere on earth that is inhabited—that has no system of government or central rule.

(‘anarchy’ is primarily advocated by ‘individual anarchists’ who propose replacing ‘government’ with ‘voluntary institutions’)
