'centrally-managed' originates from the combination of 'central' and 'manage,' where 'central' comes from Latin 'centralis,' meaning 'pertaining to a center,' and 'manage' from Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle.'

'centralis' transformed into the French word 'central,' and 'maneggiare' became the English word 'manage' through Middle English.

Initially, 'central' meant 'pertaining to a center,' and 'manage' meant 'to handle or control,' evolving into the modern concept of centralized control.
