The Greek term for autocracy is "αὐτοκρατορία" (autokratía), derived from "αὐτός" (autos), meaning "self," and "κράτος" (kratos), meaning "power" or "rule." It refers to a system of government in which one individual holds absolute power and authority. Autocracy contrasts with democratic forms of governance, where power is vested in the people or their elected representatives.
