Etymology
'conventionally-shown' originates from the word 'convention,' which comes from Latin 'conventio,' meaning 'a coming together.'
'conventio' transformed into the Old French word 'convention,' and eventually became the modern English word 'convention' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'a coming together or meeting,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'adhering to established norms.'
