Etymology
Regency comes from the Latin root reg- meaning 'to rule', the same root in regent and reign'. So Regency names a time when a regent** rules for someone else — in Britain from 1811 to 1820 the Prince Regent ruled while King George III was unwell, which is why we call that time the Regency.
