Etymology
The term 'bureaucrat' originated from the French word 'bureau' meaning desk or office, and the Greek word 'kratos' meaning rule or power. It first appeared in the early 19th century to describe government officials who work in a bureaucratic system. Bureaucracy has been a fundamental part of modern governance, but it has also been criticized for its inefficiency and lack of flexibility.
