You were warned. Now it begins: The Chicago Tribune reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working on changes to its Web properties:
The EPA's extensive climate change website now redirects to a page that says "this page is being updated" and that "we are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt." It also links to a full archive of how the page used to look on Jan. 19, before Trump's inauguration.

Maybe not as the word is used today, but that's not the root of the word. The Romans understood the necessity of dictators from time-to-time, and one of the early ones was basically a legendary Roman figure for handling the position appropriately, i.e., giving up his power once the crisis was resolved and returning to his farm [wikipedia.org].
Unfortunately, later Roman dictators abused the privilege and eventually refused to give up the dictatorship entirely (see the Caesars). Ever since, dictators have gotten a bad name.
