directly controlled
Etymology
'bluntly-managed' originates from the combination of 'bluntly' and 'managed'. 'Bluntly' comes from the word 'blunt', which has roots in Middle English 'blont', meaning 'dull'. 'Managed' is derived from the Latin 'manus', meaning 'hand'.
'Bluntly' evolved from Middle English 'blont', while 'managed' comes from the Latin 'manus', through Old French 'managier'.
Initially, 'bluntly' meant 'dull or not sharp', but over time it evolved to mean 'direct or straightforward'. 'Managed' has largely retained its meaning of 'handled or controlled'.
