The Council seat of structure, economics, and order — the steward of how resources move so that fairness is architecture, not aspiration.
Late Latin cancellarius (an officer who stood at the cancelli, the crossbars separating the public from officials), from cancelli (a lattice), diminutive of cancer (a crab, or a lattice) — the same root as 'cancel'; the office was named for the barrier it stood behind.
The Council seat of structure, economics, and order — the steward of how resources move, so that fairness is built into the architecture rather than merely hoped for.
