Question

democracy has been derived from which Greek word

Answer 1

The word Autocracy is derived from two Greek words: Autos meaning "Self", andKratos meaning "Power". Thus we have "Autocracy", or autos-kratos meaning "Power to the Self" or Dictatorship. In contrast, Demos means "The People" in Greek. So we have "Democracy", or demos-kratos meaning "Power to the People"

Answer 2

The word democracy comes from a Greek word "Demokratia". In Greek 'demos'means 'people' and 'kratia' means 'rule'.So democracy means the rule by the people.
