The German word "Bundesregierung" is a compound noun made of two parts:
- Bundes: from Bund, meaning "federation" or "federal"
- Regierung: meaning "government" (from regieren, "to govern")
Bundesregierung means "federal government", referring to the central government of a federal state like Germany.
Similar words:
- Regierung – government (general, not necessarily federal)
- Landesregierung – state government (regional level in federal countries)
Difference:
While Regierung is any government, Bundesregierung specifically refers to the federal (national) government, and Landesregierung refers to regional/state governments within a federation.
