Etymology
The word controlled comes from an old Latin idea of checking things against a written roll; the parts contra- and rotulus meant 'against' and 'roll', where 'roll' is like a long written list. So to control something was to 'check' and keep it correct, and controlled means it is managed and kept within limits.
