The OP is correct the word Government stems from a few languages. Note the word "Government is a compound word from ancient Greek and Latin.

So in essence we could assume that the word government means to steer or guide the mind.

en.wikipedia.org...


From Middle English government,[citation needed] from Old French government[citation needed] (French gouvernement), from Latin gubernatio ("management, government"). Government is a compound formed from the Ancient Greek κυβερνάω (kubernaō, "I steer, drive, guide, pilot") and the Latin -mente, ablative singular of mēns (“mind”).

Only it's mentum not mente, so it means 'state of affairs'. Wikipedia not withstanding.

Yeah, not an accurate analysis by OP. Better interpretation is "state of control" so not so blatant about mind control per se but not terribly far off.
