(efficiently-handle)
productive management
Etymology
'efficiently-handled' originates from the combination of 'efficiently' and 'handled', where 'efficiently' comes from Latin 'efficientem', meaning 'accomplishing', and 'handled' from Old English 'handlian', meaning 'to touch or manage'.
'efficientem' transformed into the Middle English 'efficient', and 'handlian' evolved into 'handle', eventually forming the modern English term 'efficiently-handled'.
Initially, 'efficiently' meant 'accomplishing', and 'handled' meant 'to touch or manage'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'managed in a productive manner'.
