'conspicuously-formed' originates from the Latin word 'conspicuus,' meaning 'visible' or 'easily seen,' combined with the English word 'formed,' which comes from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape.'

'conspicuus' transformed into the English word 'conspicuous,' and 'formare' became 'form,' eventually leading to the modern English term 'conspicuously-formed.'

Initially, 'conspicuous' meant 'visible,' and 'formed' meant 'shaped.' Together, they evolved to mean 'clearly and distinctly shaped.'
