- 1軍人執政團；軍政府
A junta is a small group, usually from the army, that takes control of a country by force and then rules it. There is no real election in that moment; the generals (or a mix of officers) sit at the top and give the orders. News English uses junta when it wants you to see that this government did not come in the ordinary way — it came with soldiers. The word is quite formal and a little cold; you hear it in papers and on the radio, not in playground talk. In Spanish, junta first meant a meeting or a group that is joined together, and it can still mean a council there. Though actually, in English news it almost always means this military government, not a friendly committee.
From the word’s history
Borrowed from Spanish junta 'a thing joined', from Latin iunctus, past participle of iungō 'to join'.
借自西班牙文 junta「聚在一起的東西」，源自拉丁文 iungō「連接」。
組成Borrowed from Spanish junta, literally “a thing gathered or joined,” the feminine form of junto, from Latin iunctus, from iungō (to join). English has had the word since 1623. The “army group that takes power” meaning is the one this entry is for.
