Etymology

The term 'officialism' combines 'official,' which originated from the Latin 'officialis,' meaning 'of or pertaining to an office,' and the suffix '-ism,' which indicates a distinctive practice or philosophy. Officialism developed as a critique of the rigid application of bureaucratic rules and formal procedures. It reflects a growing concern in modern societies regarding the balance between governance and adaptability. As organizations have evolved, the term has often been invoked when discussing the tensions between efficiency and adherence to established protocols.
