auspice
Significado: Protection, sponsorship, or guidance provided by an authoritative body; almost always used in the plural form 'auspices' in the phrase 'under the auspices of.'
Auspice is overwhelmingly encountered as 'auspices' in the set phrase 'under the auspices of,' meaning under the sponsorship, protection, or patronage of an organisation or institution. The singular 'auspice' is rare in modern usage. The related adjective 'auspicious' (favourable, promising) is much more common in general English.
