Etymology
'state-control' originates from the combination of 'state,' meaning 'a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government,' and 'control,' meaning 'the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.'
'State-control' evolved from the concept of 'state' and 'control' being used together to describe government intervention in various sectors.
Initially, it referred to any form of government intervention, but over time it has come to specifically denote economic and industrial regulation by the state.
