(a governor is, in most cases, a public official with the power to govern the executive branch of a non-sovereign or sub-national level of government, ranking under the ‘head of state’)
(in ‘federations’, governor may be the title of a ‘politician’ who governs a ‘constituent state’ and may be either ‘appointed’ or ‘elected’)
(the ‘power’ of the ‘individual governor’ can vary dramatically between ‘political systems’…
…with some governors having only ‘nominal’ (+ largely ceremonial) power…
…while others having a complete control over the ‘entire government’)
.
(historically, the title can also apply to the ‘executive officials’ acting as ‘representatives’ of a ‘chartered company’ which has been granted ‘exercise of sovereignty’ in a ‘colonial area’, such as the ‘british east india company’ or the ‘dutch east india company’)
(these companies operate as a major ‘state within a state’ with its own ‘armed forces’)
(there can also be ‘non-political governors’)
(the term ‘governor’ may also refer to high-ranking officials in ‘private’ or similar governance such as ‘commercial’ + ‘non-profit management’, styled governor(s), who simply govern an ‘institution’, such as a ‘corporation’ or a ‘bank’)
(for example, in the ‘united kingdom’ + other ‘commonwealth countries’, there are ‘prison governors’ (called ‘wardens’ in the ‘united states’), ‘school governors’ + ‘bank governors’)
(the adjective pertaining to a ‘governor’ is gubernatorial)
(from the latin root gubernare)
.
(the ‘historical female form’ is governess)
.
(though female officials are referred to by the gender-neutral form ‘governor’ (without the gender-specific ‘suffix’) of the noun to avoid confusion with other meanings of the term)
