🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Management derives from Italian maneggiare, meaning 'to handle or train horses.' Originally denoting the technique of horse training and horsemanship, the term was later generalized to encompass the broader concept of handling, directing, and controlling any activity or organization.
Breakdown
manage (from Italian maneggiare, 'to handle') + -ment (suffix forming nouns of action or state). The root maneggiare itself contains mano (hand) + the frequentative suffix -eggiare, literally 'to handle with hands.'
