'cleverly-done' originates from the combination of 'cleverly,' an adverb meaning 'in a clever manner,' and 'done,' the past participle of 'do,' meaning 'to perform or execute.'

'cleverly' evolved from the Old English word 'clæfre,' meaning 'skillful,' and 'done' from the Old English 'don,' meaning 'to perform.'

Initially, 'cleverly' meant 'skillful or dexterous,' and 'done' meant 'performed.' Together, they convey the idea of something executed with skill.
