Historical Evolution

'Convention' evolved from Latin 'conventio' to Old French 'convention,' and eventually became the modern English word 'convention.' The phrase 'conventionally-done' combines this with the past participle 'done.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'convention' referred to a formal meeting or assembly, but over time it evolved to mean established practices or norms, leading to the phrase 'conventionally-done' to describe actions done in a traditional manner.
