'flexibly-managed' originates from the combination of 'flexible' and 'manage,' where 'flexible' comes from Latin 'flexibilis,' meaning 'capable of being bent,' and 'manage' from Italian 'maneggiare,' meaning 'to handle.'

'flexibilis' transformed into the Old French 'flexible,' and 'maneggiare' became the Middle English 'manage,' eventually forming the modern English term 'flexibly-managed.'

Initially, 'flexible' meant 'capable of bending,' and 'manage' meant 'to handle or control.' Over time, 'flexibly-managed' evolved to mean 'managed with adaptability.'
