Etymology
'debt-supportive' originates from the combination of 'debt' and 'supportive', where 'debt' refers to an obligation to pay money and 'supportive' means providing assistance.
'debt' comes from the Old French word 'dette', which evolved from the Latin 'debitum', meaning 'something owed'. 'Supportive' is derived from the Latin 'supportare', meaning 'to carry' or 'to bring up'.
Initially, 'debt' meant 'something owed', and 'supportive' meant 'providing assistance'. Together, they evolved to mean 'providing assistance in managing debt'.
