gradual management
Etymology
'incrementally-handled' originates from the combination of 'incremental' and 'handle', where 'incremental' is derived from the Latin word 'incrementum', meaning 'growth' or 'increase', and 'handle' comes from the Old English 'handlian', meaning 'to touch or manage'.
'incremental' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Middle English, while 'handle' transformed from Old English 'handlian' to the modern English 'handle'.
Initially, 'incremental' meant 'growth or increase', and 'handle' meant 'to touch or manage'. Over time, 'incrementally-handled' evolved to mean 'managed in small steps'.
