幕府

From Middle Chinese 幕府 (MC mak pjuX). The kan'on reading, so likely a later borrowing.

Originally referred to the tents or encampment of the commanders of a military force in the field. This then extended to refer to the command structure, and then to the form of government under a shōgun.^[1]^[2]
