An orda (also orda, ordu, ordo, or ordon) or horde was a historical sociopolitical and military structure found on the Eurasian Steppe, usually associated with the Turkic raiders and Mongols. This entity can be seen as the regional equivalent of a clan or a tribe. Some successful ordas gave rise to khanates. While the Slavic term ''ordo'' and the western term ''horde'' were in origin borrowings from the Mongol term ''ordo'' for "camp, headquarters", the original term did not carry the meaning of a large khanate such as the Golden Horde. These structures were contemporarily referred to as ''ulus'' ("nation" or "tribe"). It was only in the Late Middle Ages that the Slavic usage of ''orda'' was borrowed back into the Turkic languages. ==Etymology== Etymologically, the word "orda" comes from the Mongolic "ordu" which could mean camp, palace, tent, "seat of power" or "royal court". Within the Liao Empire of the Mongolic Khitans, the word ordo was used to refer to a nobleman's personal entourage or court, which included servants, retainers, and bodyguards. Emperors, empresses, and high ranking princes all had ordos of their own, which they were free to manage in practically any way they chose. The Kazakh language name for a division of an army was ''jüz'' "hundred." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orda (organization)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
