'professionally-managed' originates from the combination of 'professional' and 'manage,' where 'professional' comes from Latin 'professio' meaning 'public declaration' and 'manage' from Italian 'maneggiare' meaning 'to handle.'

'professionally-managed' evolved from the combination of 'professional' and 'manage' in modern English to describe something handled by experts.

Initially, 'professional' meant 'pertaining to a profession,' and 'manage' meant 'to handle or control.' Together, they evolved to describe expert management.
