deliberately-effective
|de-lib-er-ate-ly-ef-fec-tive|
/dɪˈlɪbərətli ɪˈfɛktɪv/
intentionally impactful
Etymology
'deliberately-effective' originates from the combination of 'deliberate' and 'effective', where 'deliberate' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'effective' from Latin 'effectivus', meaning 'accomplishing'.
'deliberate' changed from the Latin word 'deliberatus' and 'effective' from 'effectivus', eventually forming the modern English compound 'deliberately-effective'.
Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'considered carefully' and 'effective' meant 'accomplishing', but together they evolved to mean 'intentionally designed to achieve a specific result'.
