Etymology Information

'chaotically-managed' originates from the Greek word 'khaos,' meaning 'abyss' or 'void,' combined with the English word 'manage,' from the Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle.'

Historical Evolution

'chaos' transformed from the Greek 'khaos' into the Latin 'chaos,' and eventually became the modern English word 'chaos.' 'Manage' evolved from the Italian 'maneggiare' to the French 'maneger,' and finally to the English 'manage.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'chaos' meant 'void' or 'abyss,' but over time it evolved to mean 'complete disorder.' 'Manage' has largely retained its meaning of 'handling or controlling.'
