Etymology
'antenna-installed' is a compound word formed from 'antenna' and 'installed'. 'Antenna' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'antenna', meaning 'sail yard'. 'Install' comes from Latin 'installare', where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'stallare' meant 'to place'.
'Antenna' was adopted into English from Latin, while 'install' evolved from Latin through Old French 'installer', eventually becoming the modern English 'install'.
Initially, 'antenna' referred to a 'sail yard', but over time it evolved to mean a device for receiving or transmitting signals. 'Install' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to place or set up'.
