- 1攝政、攝政者
A regent is the person who runs a country for a king or queen who cannot do the job themselves. The usual reasons are that the ruler is still a child, is very ill, or is away for a long time. The crown still belongs to the king or queen; the regent is only holding the steering wheel until they can take it back, so the job is meant to be temporary. History books talk about a prince regent or a queen regent when that person is acting in this stand-in role. Though actually, in the United States you will also see Board of Regents — a group that governs a university, not a royal stand-in. Same old idea of “people who govern,” different setting. The word feels formal and a bit historical; you would not call a a regent unless you were joking in a fancy way.
From the word’s history
From Middle English regent, from Anglo-Norman and Middle French, from Latin regēns 'ruling', present participle of regō 'to govern, steer'.
經法文來自拉丁文 regēns「統治的」，源於 regō「治理、掌舵」。
組成From Latin regēns, the “ruling” form of the verb regō, “to govern, to steer.” It came through French into English.
