辦事處本身：人與位子
這一組看的是畫面裡「會動的部分」：坐在桌前辦事的那群人，還有他們替之辦事的那個位子。

核心畫面
You can hold one picture for this whole word: a chancellor's establishment. Picture a wide official building with flags at the door, floors of desks inside, and people working through papers for the person at the top. Each meaning can be seen as one corner of that picture — the building itself, the people at the desks, the branch of it posted in a foreign country, and the seat at the top that all the work is done for.

「chancellery」可以想成一整個畫面：chancellor 的辦事處。腦中先擺一棟門口掛旗的官方大樓，裡面一層層都是桌子，一群人在替最上面那位首長辦事。這個字的四個意思，可以想成是從這個畫面的不同角落各取一塊：那棟樓、樓裡的那群人、派駐在外國的那一間，以及最上面那個位子本身。From the word’s history
The packet's source entry traces the word through Middle English chancelrie and Old French chancelerie to Late Latin cancellaria, and notes it is a doublet of chancery. The ending is the one English uses to name an establishment or a place of work, so the word starts life as 'the chancellor's establishment' — which is why it can still point at the building, at the staff, or at the post.
來源資料把這個字追到中古英語 chancelrie、古法語 chancelerie，再到晚期拉丁文 cancellaria，並指出它和 chancery 是雙生字。字尾正是英文用來指「某種機構或辦事處」的那一種。可以想成：這個字一開始就是「chancellor 的辦事處」，所以今天它才能同時指樓、指人、也指那個位子。
