The term administration has originated from Latin verb ministrare, strengthened by the preposition ad, meaning to serve. Therefore, administration always means a certain service or executive activity, carried out with respect to somebody or something more important. Administration is an instrument serving to achieve a goal or to execute a will of superior. It should not have aims of its own.
