The word anarchy is derived from the Greek terms for "without", and "ruler". Therefore, in its strict sense, anarchy means lack of government. Just like black is lack of color and a vacuum is lack of matter or air. The terms derived from anarchy and used today may not be all in accordance with this definition, but that is its original meaning.
