I would like some elucidation on the USian word "gubernatorial". Its Latin root suggests that it refers to the actions of a governor (and one would assume state governor) but I have always sensed that the word is used to refer to elections in general rather than to the elected person. What do you USians actually mean by the word (this is a part of another assignment for my linguistics course)?

I am accustomed to hearing it used for the election of a state Governor and for the actions as well (especially in types of actions - a Gubertanorial process)

We don't have those. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Not that I could have helped.
