Word origin
The word 'manage' originated from the Italian word 'maneggiare' meaning 'to handle', which in turn came from the Latin word 'manus' meaning 'hand'. The term evolved over time to refer to the act of controlling or organizing resources or situations. It has been used in the English language since the 16th century.
