Manage
MANAGE, to control, direct, or be in a position or have the capacity to do anything (from Ital. maneggiare, to train horses, literally to handle; Lat. manus, hand). The word was first used of the " management " of a horse. Its meanings have been much influenced by the French mtnager, to direct a household or menage (from late Lat. mansio, house); hence to economize, to husband resources, etc. The French menage, act of guiding or leading, from mener, to lead, seems also to have influenced the meaning.
