Editing Management (section)

== Etymology ==
The English verb ''manage'' has its roots in the fifteenth-century [[French language|French]] verb {{lang|fr|mesnager}}, which often referred in [[Equestrianism|equestrian]] language "to hold in hand the reins of a horse".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mintzberg |first1=Henry,. |title=Manager l'essentiel : ce que font vraiment les managers ... et ce qu'ils pourraient faire mieux |year=2014 |publisher=Vuibert |location=Paris |isbn=978-2-311-40094-6}}</ref> Also the [[Italian language|Italian]] term {{lang|it|maneggiare}} (to handle, especially tools or a horse) is possible. In [[Spanish language|Spanish]], {{lang|es|manejar}} can also mean to rule the horses.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Real Academia Española |first1=Diccionario de la lengua española |title=manejar {{!}} Diccionario de la lengua española |url=https://dle.rae.es/manejar |language=es}}</ref> These three terms derive from the two [[Latin]] words {{lang|la|manus}} (hand) and {{lang|la|agere}} (to act). 

The French word for [[housekeeping]], {{lang|fr|ménagerie}}, derived from {{lang|fr|ménager}} ("to keep house"; compare {{lang|fr|ménage}} for "household"), also encompasses taking care of domestic animals. {{lang|fr|[[wikt:menagerie|Ménagerie]]}} is the French translation of [[Xenophon]]'s famous book ''[[Oeconomicus]]''<ref>{{Cite web|author1=Xenophon|year=1734|title=Oikonomikos.

The French word {{lang|fr|mesnagement}} (or {{lang|fr|ménagement}}) influenced the semantic development of the English word ''management'' in the 17th and 18th centuries.<ref>{{cite web|title=Home : Oxford English Dictionary|url=http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/113218?redirectedFrom=management#eid}}</ref>
