Etymology

From Ancient Greek ἡγεμονία (hēgemonía, “supremacy or leadership, chief command”), from ἡγεμών (hēgemṓn, “a leader, guide, commander, chief”), from ἡγέομαι (hēgéomai, “to lead”). Early 19th-century usage influenced by German Hegemonie.

Meanings

  1. (countable, formal, uncountable) Domination, influence, or authority over another, especially by one political group over a society or by one nation over others.
    • The idea of a German republic and confederacy like the American, is surely less fantastical than a hegemony to which nobody is willing to submit. 1820 [1819], “Germany and the Revolution”, in anonymous translator, The Pamphleteer, volume xxv, number 30, London, translation of Teutschland und die Revolution by J[oseph] Görres, page 572:
  2. (countable, uncountable) Dominance of one social group over another, such that the ruling group or hegemon acquires some degree of consent from the subordinate, as opposed to dominance purely by force.
    • The two political parties battled viciously for hegemony.
