Administrative regions
The word "region" is taken from the
Latin regio, and a number of countries have borrowed the term as the formal name for a type of
subnational entity (eg, the
región, used in
Chile). In
English, the word is also used as the conventional translation for equivalent terms in other languages (e.g., the
область (
oblast), used in
Russia alongside with a broader term
регион).
