Etymology
'collectively-supported' originates from the combination of 'collective' and 'support,' where 'collective' comes from Latin 'collectivus,' meaning 'gathered together,' and 'support' from Old French 'supporter,' meaning 'to carry or bear.'
'collective' evolved from Latin 'collectivus' through Old French 'collectif,' and 'support' from Old French 'supporter,' eventually forming the modern English term 'collectively-supported.'
Initially, 'collective' meant 'gathered together,' and 'support' meant 'to carry or bear,' evolving into the current meaning of 'supported by a group.'
