===Etymology===
From {{bor|en|grc|κυβερνήτης||[[steersman]]}}, from {{m|grc|κυβερνάω||I steer, drive, guide, act as a pilot}} (whence {{m+|en|govern}}). The term is attested since at least 1948 in the book ''{{w|Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine|Cybernetics}}'' by {{w|Norbert Wiener}}, influenced by the cognate term and doublet {{m|en|governor}}, the name of an early control device proposed by {{w|James Clerk Maxwell}} in 1868.<ref>{{cite-book|author=Norbert Wiener|authorlink=Norbert Wiener|title={{w|Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine}}|year=1948|publisher=John Wiley|location=New York|page=19|pageurl=https://archive.org/details/cybernetics00wien/page/19/mode/1up|passage=We have decided to call the entire field of control and communication theory{{...|, whether in the machine or in the animal,}} by the name ''Cybernetics'', which we form from the Greek {{m|grc|κυβερνήτης|tr=-}} or ''steersman''. In choosing this term, we wish to recognize that the first significant paper on feed-back mechanisms is an article on governors, which was  published by {{w|James Clerk Maxwell|Clerk Maxwell}} in 1868, and that {{m|en|governor}} is derived from a Latin corruption of {{m|grc|κυβερνήτης|tr=-}}.}}</ref> Note also the 1830s {{cog|fr|cybernétique||the art of governing}}. Also {{doublet|en|Kubernetes|nocap=1}}.
