sent with care
Etymology
'carefully-shipped' originates from the combination of 'carefully' and 'shipped', where 'carefully' is derived from 'care' meaning 'attention' and 'fully' meaning 'completely', and 'shipped' is the past participle of 'ship', meaning 'to send goods'.
'carefully' changed from the Old English word 'carful', and 'shipped' from the Old English 'scipian', eventually forming the modern English term 'carefully-shipped'.
Initially, 'carefully' meant 'full of care', and 'shipped' meant 'to send by ship', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'sent with great care'.
