Etymology
'client-operated' is a compound word formed from 'client' and 'operated'. 'Client' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'cliens', meaning 'follower' or 'dependent'. 'Operated' comes from Latin 'operari', meaning 'to work'.
'Client' evolved from the Latin 'cliens' through Old French 'client', while 'operated' evolved from Latin 'operari' through Middle English 'operaten'.
Initially, 'client' referred to a 'follower' or 'dependent', but now it refers to a 'customer'. 'Operated' has maintained its meaning of 'to work or function'.
