Etymology
From de gmh kanzelære, from de goh canzilāri (ca. 900), borrowed from de la-lat cancellārius, derived from de la cancellus. de Kanzel -er, but semantically pertaining more closely to de Kanzlei (itself derived from the former). Compare en chancellor.
The use for a head of government developed in a monarchic context from that for a senior administrator. After WWI it was maintained in the newly created republics, particularly as the respective heads of state (de Präsident) continued to have far-reaching competences. At least in Germany this is no longer the case, making the title somewhat abstract.
