Word origin
The word 'manipulate' originated from the Latin word 'manipulatus', which means 'handled', 'treated', or 'controlled'. It first appeared in English in the 19th century. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass both the idea of skillfully handling something and the negative connotation of controlling or influencing someone or something unfairly.
