'deliberately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh or balance.' 'Positioned' comes from Latin 'positio,' meaning 'a placing or setting.'

'deliberatus' transformed into the Old French word 'deliberer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Positio' evolved into the Old French 'posicion,' leading to the modern English 'position.'

Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh or consider carefully,' and 'position' meant 'a placing or setting.' Over time, 'deliberately-positioned' evolved to mean 'intentionally placed.'
