The word "managing" derives from the Italian "maneggiare" (to handle, train horses), which traces back to Latin "manus" (hand). The core idea of "handling" evolved into broader meanings of control and supervision. The suffix "-ing" marks it as a present participle or gerund, indicating ongoing action. The progression reflects a shift from physical handling (e.g., horsemanship) to abstract organizational control.
