'administrant' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'administrare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'ministrare' meant 'to serve.'

'administrare' transformed into the Old French word 'administrer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'administer,' from which 'administrant' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'to serve or manage,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who administers or manages something.'
