'equitably-managed' originates from the Latin word 'aequitas,' meaning 'fairness' or 'equity,' combined with the English word 'manage,' which comes from the Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle.'

'Aequitas' transformed into the Old French word 'equité,' and eventually became the modern English word 'equity.' 'Maneggiare' transformed into the Middle English word 'managen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'manage.'

Initially, 'equitably' meant 'in a manner of fairness,' and 'manage' meant 'to handle or control.' Over time, 'equitably-managed' evolved to mean 'managed in a fair and impartial manner.'
