norm-based application
Etymology
'conventionally-applied' originates from the combination of 'conventionally' and 'applied', where 'conventionally' is derived from 'convention', meaning 'a way in which something is usually done', and 'applied' is the past participle of 'apply', meaning 'to put to use'.
'conventionally' evolved from the Latin word 'conventio', meaning 'agreement', and 'applied' from the Latin 'applicare', meaning 'to attach'.
Initially, 'conventionally' meant 'according to agreement', and 'applied' meant 'attached'. Over time, 'conventionally-applied' evolved to mean 'applied according to established norms'.
