Go Latin: capriarchy. (Surely there's word for this already? Scanned lists of -cracy and -archy words, couldn't find one.)
- ThrowawayR2 2y ago-archy is from the Greek arkhos so the first part has to be Greek too. There are mixed Latin + Greek words but they're not really considered proper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word.
- card_zero 2y agoSuch as matriarchy. Lots of Latin words are borrowed Greek words. But if you insist, you could have schediocracy, from σχεδίασμα (skhedíasma). Or maybe drop the h to give *astatocracy, like astatine, the unstable element. Easier to say.
