intentionally created
Etymology
'deliberately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh or balance.' 'Produced' comes from Latin 'producere,' where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead.'
'deliberatus' transformed into the Old French word 'deliberer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Producere' transformed into the Old French word 'produire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'produce.'
Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh or consider carefully,' and 'produce' meant 'to lead forward.' Over time, 'deliberately-produced' evolved to mean 'created with intention.'
