Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle French manœuvre (manipulation, maneuver) and manouvrer (to maneuver), from Old French manovre (handwork, manual labor), from manopera, manuopera (work done by hand, handwork), from manu (by hand) + operari (to work). First recorded in the Capitularies of Charlemagne (800 AD) to mean "chore, manual task", probably as a calque of the *handuwerk (hand-work).
