governor

A governor is a device or mechanism that controls or limits the movement, speed, or power of a machine or system. Its primary purpose is to ensure safe, efficient, and stable operation by adjusting performance based on changing conditions. For example, in an engine, a governor prevents the machinery from running too fast, protecting both the equipment and users. In broader terms, a government governor is a leader elected or appointed to oversee and manage a region’s affairs, making decisions to maintain order and implement policies. The common thread is that a governor regulates and guides the functioning of a system or organization.
