Where it comes from
Derived from Latin stratēgia, from Ancient Greek στρατηγία (stratēgía, “office of general, command, generalship”), from στρατηγός (stratēgós, “the leader or commander of an army, a general”), from στρατός (stratós, “army”) + ἄγω (ágō, “to lead, conduct”).
noun strategies
- The science and art of military command as applied to the overall planning and conduct of warfare. “I came down like a wolf on the fold, didn’t I ? Why didn’t I telephone ? Strategy, my dear boy, strategy. This is a surprise attack, and I’d no wish that the garrison, forewarned, should escape. …”
- A plan of action intended to accomplish a specific goal. Oftentimes, the very simple strategies pay very great dividends.
- The act of strategizing; the development of effective strategies.
