The word "administration" is from the Middle English administracioun, deriving from the French administration, which is itself derived from the Latin administratio: a compounding of ad ("to") and ministratio ("to give service").
In modern usage, the word has particular meanings in particular contexts, but all retain this sense of service provision.
