managed through intermediaries
Etymology
'indirectly-managed' originates from the combination of 'indirectly' and 'managed', where 'indirectly' comes from Latin 'indirectus', meaning 'not straight', and 'managed' from Latin 'manus', meaning 'hand'.
'indirectly' evolved from the Latin 'indirectus' through Old French 'indirect', and 'managed' from Latin 'manus' through Old French 'managier'.
Initially, 'indirectly' meant 'not in a straight line', and 'managed' meant 'handled or controlled'. Over time, 'indirectly-managed' came to mean 'managed through intermediaries'.
