Etymology
'deliberately-endorsed' originates from the combination of 'deliberately' and 'endorsed'. 'Deliberately' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'endorsed' comes from Latin 'indorsare', meaning 'to write on the back'.
'Deliberately' evolved from the Latin 'deliberatus' through Old French 'deliberer', while 'endorsed' evolved from Latin 'indorsare' through Old French 'endosser'.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'endorsed' meant 'to write on the back'. Over time, 'deliberately-endorsed' evolved to mean 'consciously and intentionally supported'.
