The word "management" derives from the Italian "maneggiare" (to handle, especially tools or horses), which comes from Latin "manus" (hand). The suffix "-ment" (from Old French) turns verbs into nouns indicating an action or result. Originally tied to physical handling, the term evolved to encompass organizational control in the 16th–17th centuries, reflecting broader societal shifts toward structured systems.
