- manage
[manage 词源字典] - manage: [16] Etymologically, manage means ‘handle’. It comes via Italian maneggiare ‘control a horse’ from Vulgar Latin *manidiare, a derivative of Latin manus ‘hand’. To begin with it was used in the context of ‘horsetraining’ in English, but eventually the French form manège took over in this sense. The more general sense ‘handle, control’ is of virtually equal antiquity in English, though.
