What words have the stem archy?

The stem "archy" is actually part of a larger Greek root, *arkhē*, meaning "beginning, rule, principle".

Here are some words that use this root, with the stem "archy" often combined with other prefixes:

* Anarchy: Absence of government or control

* Monarchy: Rule by a single person, usually a king or queen

* Oligarchy: Rule by a small group of people

* Hierarchy: A system of ranking or organization

* Patriarchy: A social system where men hold power and authority

* Matriarchy: A social system where women hold power and authority

* Democracy: Rule by the people

* Technocracy: Rule by technical experts

* Theocracy: Rule by religious leaders

It's important to note that "archy" itself is not a stand-alone word but rather a part of a larger word.
