"Nichtregierungsorganisation" meaning in German

See Nichtregierungsorganisation in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˌnɪçt.ʁeˈɡiːʁʊŋs.ɔʁɡanizaˌt͡si̯oːn/ Audio: De-Nichtregierungsorganisation.ogg
Etymology: From nicht- (“non-”) + Regierung (“government”) + -s- + Organisation (“organization”), a calque of English non-governmental organization. The translation is imprecise, because English NGO uses “government” in the (especially American) sense “the state and its entire administrative infrastructure” (German Staat), while Regierung means “government” in the narrower sense “body that makes and enforces laws”. The technically more correct form nichtstaatliche Organisation has remained rarer in practice, however.
