administrate (third-person singular simple present administrates, present participle administrating, simple past and past participle administrated)
to administer
(computing) the act or function of providing maintenance and general housekeeping for computer systems, networks, peripheral equipment, etc.
Administrate is widely regarded as a non-standard alternative to administer, but in some dialects it is preferred or accepted, and in some industries it is preferred as a jargon term in certain contexts.
Although sources such as Merriam-Webster show the etymology of administrate as being directly from Latin in the 16th century, those same sources also indicate that administer and administration can be attested in English in the 14th century, so a back-formation from administration is also plausible.

Coffee starts as a yellow berry, changes into a red berry, and then is picked by hand to harvest. The red berry is de-shelled through a water soaking process and what’s left inside is the green coffee bean. This bean then dries in the sun for 3-5 days, where it is then packed and ready for sale.
