: I've come upon this word recently in the British press. It seems
to be used regarding politics. What is the meaning?
It's an acronym - Quasi Non-Government Organisation. Used in (at
least) the UK and USA and usually used to refer to organisations
that are backed by government but not formally part of it. The Housing
Association is an example from the UK.
