Etymology

The French adjective *démocratique* comes from the late‑18th‑century French *democratie*, borrowed from the French *democratie* of the same spelling, which in turn derives from the French *democratie* (from the French *démocratie*, also from Latin *democratia*). This Latin form ultimately traces back to the Greek compound *δῆμος* (demos, “the people”) + *κρατία* (kratia, “power, rule”). The word entered French during the Enlightenment, where it was used to describe systems and principles that involve the people’s authority, and it has retained that sense through the 19th and 20th centuries.
