Etymology of MANIPULATED

The word "manipulated" comes from the Latin term "manipulatus", which is the past participle of the verb "manipulare". This Latin verb is derived from the noun "manipulus", meaning a "handful" or a "bundle". The word developed from the combination of "manus" (hand) and "plere" (to fill). In its original sense, "manipulare" meant "to handle or control with the hands". Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to encompass the idea of controlling or influencing someone or something through skillful or devious means, which is the sense we use today when we say someone is manipulated.
