'static' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'statikos,' where 'stat-' meant 'causing to stand.' 'Manage' originates from Italian, specifically the word 'maneggiare,' where 'man-' meant 'hand.'

'statikos' transformed into the Latin word 'staticus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'static.' 'Maneggiare' transformed into the French word 'maneger,' and eventually became the modern English word 'manage.'

Initially, 'static' meant 'causing to stand,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'unchanging.' 'Manage' initially meant 'to handle,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
