intentional decision
Etymology
'consciously-determined' originates from the combination of 'conscious' and 'determine'. 'Conscious' comes from Latin 'conscire', meaning 'to be aware', and 'determine' comes from Latin 'determinare', meaning 'to limit or set boundaries'.
'conscious' changed from the Latin word 'conscire' and 'determine' from 'determinare', eventually forming the modern English term 'consciously-determined'.
Initially, 'conscious' meant 'to be aware', and 'determine' meant 'to set boundaries'. Over time, they combined to mean 'decided with awareness'.
