Etymology
'contemporarily-applied' originates from the combination of 'contemporary' and 'applied', where 'contemporary' is derived from Latin 'contemporarius', meaning 'with time', and 'applied' from Latin 'applicare', meaning 'to attach or join'.
'Contemporarily' evolved from the Latin 'contemporarius', and 'applied' from 'applicare', eventually forming the modern English term 'contemporarily-applied'.
Initially, 'contemporary' meant 'existing at the same time', and 'applied' meant 'to attach', but together they evolved to mean 'relevant to the current time'.
