Etymology
'conventionally-designed' originates from the words 'conventionally' and 'designed'. 'Conventionally' comes from 'convention', which originates from Latin 'conventio', meaning 'a coming together'. 'Designed' comes from 'design', which originates from Latin 'designare', meaning 'to mark out'.
'Conventionally' evolved from the Latin 'conventio' through Old French 'convention', and 'designed' evolved from Latin 'designare' through Old French 'designer'.
Initially, 'conventionally' meant 'according to agreement', and 'designed' meant 'marked out'. Over time, 'conventionally-designed' evolved to mean 'created following traditional methods'.
