Etymology
'conventionally-enforced' originates from the combination of 'conventionally' and 'enforced', where 'conventionally' is derived from 'convention', meaning 'a way in which something is usually done', and 'enforced' from 'enforce', meaning 'to compel observance of or compliance with a law, rule, or obligation'.
'conventionally' changed from the Latin word 'conventio', meaning 'agreement', and 'enforced' from the Old French 'enforcier', meaning 'to strengthen'.
Initially, 'conventionally' meant 'in accordance with convention', and 'enforced' meant 'to compel observance'. Together, they evolved to mean 'implemented according to established norms'.
