Definition 1: A state of lawlessness resulting from a total lack of governance.
[@more@]Usage 1: Not to be confused with "anarchism", the political theory that opposes all forms of government. Like (true) communists, Anarchists hold the highest form of social order to be one in which laws are internalized in individuals, rendering external enforcement unnecessary. (No likely third-party candidates are on the horizon.)
Suggested usage: This is a word often used in connection with riots: "Officials feared the riots in Los Angeles would lead to a state of anarchy." However, it is not immune to occasional humor: "Stop bickering with your sister; you are not living in an anarchy, despite the appearance of your room."
Etymology: Medieval Latin anarchia, from Greek a(n)- "no, not" + archos "ruler, chief". Also found in matriarch, patriarch, hierarchy, and architect ("highest or ruling builder").
