Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'manipulus' (a handful, handful of men, company of soldiers), combining 'manus' (hand) and the root of 'plere' (to fill). Over time, the meaning shifted from physical handling or management in French ('manipulation') to figurative and psychological control, as well as the falsification of data.
