'tactfully-managed' originates from the combination of 'tactful' and 'manage', where 'tactful' comes from Latin 'tactus' meaning 'touch' and 'manage' from Italian 'maneggiare' meaning 'to handle'.

'tactful' evolved from the Latin 'tactus' through Old French 'tact' and 'manage' from Italian 'maneggiare' through Middle English 'managen'.

Initially, 'tactful' meant 'having a sense of touch', but evolved to mean 'having sensitivity in dealing with others'. 'Manage' retained its meaning of 'handling or controlling'.
