'appropriately-declared' originates from the combination of 'appropriate' and 'declare', where 'appropriate' comes from Latin 'appropriatus', meaning 'to make one's own', and 'declare' from Latin 'declarare', meaning 'to make clear'.

'appropriatus' transformed into the Old French 'approprier', and 'declarare' into the Old French 'declarer', eventually becoming the modern English words 'appropriate' and 'declare'.

Initially, 'appropriate' meant 'to make one's own', and 'declare' meant 'to make clear'. Over time, 'appropriately-declared' evolved to mean 'stated in a suitable manner'.
