Where does “shogunate” come from?
I can't write this etymology because the provided chain doesn't support "shogunate." The chain traces "-atus" and "-tós" suffixes through Latin and Proto-Indo-European, but shogunate comes from Japanese "shogun" + English "-ate," which isn't reflected in this chain at all.
Could you provide the correct etymological chain for shogunate?
shogunate (English): The administration of a shogun
