Etymology
'emotion-managing' originates from the combination of 'emotion' and 'manage,' where 'emotion' refers to feelings and 'manage' means to control or handle.
'emotion' comes from the Latin word 'emovere,' meaning 'to move out,' and 'manage' comes from the Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle.'
Initially, 'emotion' referred to a physical movement, but over time it evolved to mean feelings, while 'manage' has retained its meaning of control.
