Etymology
'deliberately-designed' originates from the combination of 'deliberately' and 'designed', where 'deliberately' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'designed' from Latin 'designare', meaning 'to mark out'.
'deliberately' evolved from the Latin 'deliberatus', through Old French 'deliberer', and 'designed' from Latin 'designare', through Old French 'designer'.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'designed' meant 'to mark out', but together they evolved to mean 'created with intention'.
