deeply-adjusted
|deep-ly-ad-just-ed|
/ˈdiːpli əˈdʒʌstɪd/
profoundly modified
Etymology
'deeply-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'deeply' and 'adjusted'. 'Deeply' comes from Old English 'dēoplice', meaning 'profoundly', and 'adjusted' comes from Old French 'ajuster', meaning 'to make right'.
'deeply' changed from Old English 'dēoplice' to Middle English 'deepli', and 'adjusted' evolved from Old French 'ajuster' to Middle English 'ajusten', eventually becoming the modern English 'adjusted'.
Initially, 'deeply' meant 'profoundly', and 'adjusted' meant 'to make right'. The combination 'deeply-adjusted' retains the sense of profound modification.
