    Usage notes

    Administrate'' is widely regarded as a non-standard alternative to ''administer , however in some dialects it is preferred or accepted, and in some industries it is preferred as a jargon term in certain contexts. Although sources such as Mirriam-Webster show the etymology of administrate'' as being directly from Latin in the 16th century, those same sources also indicate that ''administer'' and ''administration'' can be attested in English in the 14th century, so a back-formation from ''administration is also plausible. ----
