intentionally set
Etymology
'deliberately-fixed' originates from the combination of 'deliberately' and 'fixed', where 'deliberately' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'deliberately' changed from the Latin word 'deliberatus' and 'fixed' from 'fixus', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'deliberately-fixed'.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Together, they evolved to mean 'intentionally set'.
