'data-limited' originates from the combination of 'data,' derived from Latin 'datum,' meaning 'something given,' and 'limited,' from Latin 'limitare,' meaning 'to bound or restrict.'

'Data' evolved from the Latin 'datum' through Middle English, while 'limited' came from the Latin 'limitare' through Old French 'limiter.'

Initially, 'data' referred to 'something given' in a general sense, while 'limited' meant 'restricted.' Together, they now describe a condition of restricted data availability.
