The word "manage" originates from the Latin manus (hand), reflecting the idea of handling or controlling tasks manually. The suffix -age was added in Medieval Latin (manuaticum) to form a verb meaning "to train or handle horses," later generalized to directing any activity. Over time, "manage" evolved to encompass broader concepts of control, supervision, and successful execution.
