Etymology
'medically-managed' originates from the combination of 'medical' and 'manage,' where 'medical' is derived from Latin 'medicus' meaning 'physician,' and 'manage' is from Italian 'maneggiare' meaning 'to handle.'
'medically-managed' evolved from the combination of 'medical' and 'manage' in modern English to describe healthcare oversight.
Initially, 'manage' meant 'to handle or control,' and 'medical' referred to 'physician-related.' Together, they evolved to mean 'overseen by medical professionals.'
