Etymology

إِدارَة is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَدارَ, meaning to make turn or to run something. It is built on the triliteral root د-و-ر, the same root behind دارَ, to turn or revolve. The sense moved from physical turning to the act of keeping an organization running, that is, managing or administering it.
