Etymology
'coercively-recovered' originates from the combination of 'coercive' and 'recovered'. 'Coercive' comes from Latin 'coercere', meaning 'to restrain', and 'recovered' from Latin 'recuperare', meaning 'to regain'.
'coercere' transformed into the Old French 'coercif', and eventually became the modern English word 'coercive'. 'Recuperare' transformed into the Old French 'recovrer', and eventually became the modern English word 'recover'.
Initially, 'coercive' meant 'to restrain or control', and 'recover' meant 'to regain possession'. Over time, 'coercively-recovered' evolved to mean 'obtained through force'.
