Etymology
'adaptively-formed' originates from the combination of 'adaptive' and 'formed', where 'adaptive' comes from the Latin word 'adaptare', meaning 'to fit' or 'to adjust', and 'formed' from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'adaptive' changed from the Latin word 'adaptare' and 'formed' from 'formare', eventually becoming the modern English term 'adaptively-formed'.
Initially, 'adaptive' meant 'to fit or adjust', and 'formed' meant 'to shape'. Together, they evolved to mean 'created in a way that allows for adaptation'.
