Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: governor n., general adj.

Etymology: < governor n. + general adj., after Middle French gouverneur general (1568, in the source translated in quot. 1579, or earlier; French gouverneur-général), itself after Italian governatore generale (1544 or earlier).

A governor of high rank; esp. the chief official appointed to govern a state, province, etc., in the name of a sovereign authority; a viceroy. Later: spec. the principal representative of the British Crown in a colony, dependency, or (later) Commonwealth nation which regards the monarch as the head of state.
