'adaptively-managed' originates from the combination of 'adaptive' and 'manage,' where 'adaptive' comes from the Latin 'adaptare,' meaning 'to fit or adjust,' and 'manage' comes from the Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle or control.'

'adaptive' evolved from the Latin 'adaptare' through Old French 'adapter,' and 'manage' evolved from the Italian 'maneggiare' through Middle English 'managen.'

Initially, 'adaptive' meant 'to fit or adjust,' and 'manage' meant 'to handle or control.' The combined term 'adaptively-managed' now refers to a management style that is flexible and responsive to change.
