|con-ven-tion-al-ly-placed|
/kənˈvɛnʃənəli pleɪst/
traditionally arranged
Etymology
'conventionally' originates from 'convention,' which comes from Latin 'conventio,' meaning 'a coming together.' 'Placed' is derived from Old French 'placer,' meaning 'to place or set.'
'Conventionally' evolved from the Latin 'conventio' through Old French 'convention,' while 'placed' transformed from Old French 'placer' to the modern English 'place.'
Initially, 'conventionally' meant 'according to agreement,' but it evolved to mean 'according to tradition or custom.' 'Placed' has retained its meaning of 'set in a particular position.'
