Etymology of MANOEUVER

The word "manoeuvre" originated in the late 18th century and has its roots in the French word "manœuvre". The French word comes from the Old French term "manovre", which means "handwork" or "manual labor". It is derived from the Latin words "manus" meaning "hand" and "opera" meaning "work" or "effort". Over time, the meaning of "manoeuvre" evolved from referring to physical handwork or manual labor to describe strategic or tactical movements, particularly in military or naval contexts. Today, "manoeuvre" is commonly used to denote a skillful or strategic movement, both in a literal and figurative sense, beyond its original military connotation.
