Hierarchy
Origin: Gr. ἱεραρχία
Systems organized in such a way as to create a larger system in which a sub-system may have other subsystems subordinate to it, but can itself be subordinate to only one other.; subsystems within systems. In displaying hierarchies, the highest level aggregate element is usually at the top, with the contributing elements beneath.
Spanish: Jerarquía
