Etymology
'deliberately-harmed' originates from the combination of 'deliberately,' meaning 'intentionally,' and 'harmed,' meaning 'caused damage or injury.'
The word 'deliberately' comes from the Latin 'deliberatus,' meaning 'considered carefully,' and 'harmed' from Old English 'hearmian,' meaning 'to injure.'
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully,' and 'harmed' meant 'to injure.' The combination now implies intentional injury or damage.
