governing

/ˈɡəvɝnɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of govern

Word Origin Governing comes from Latin gubernare 'to steer a ship'—so a governor is literally a steersman. The same root gives us cybernetics (the science of steering systems) from Greek kybernan. The -ing makes it the action of steering the state. So when you're governing, you're at the helm.
