Etymology
'deliberately-reloaded' originates from the English words 'deliberately' and 'reloaded'. 'Deliberately' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'reloaded' is derived from 'reload', meaning 'to load again'.
'deliberately' changed from the Latin word 'deliberatus' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberately'. 'Reloaded' evolved from the combination of 're-' and 'load', with 'load' having Old English origins.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'reloaded' meant 'loaded again'. The combined term 'deliberately-reloaded' retains these meanings in its current usage.
