intentional restoration
Etymology
'deliberately-restored' originates from the combination of 'deliberately' and 'restored'. 'Deliberately' comes from Latin 'deliberatus', meaning 'considered carefully', and 'restored' comes from Latin 'restaurare', meaning 'to renew'.
'deliberately' changed from the Latin word 'deliberatus' and 'restored' from 'restaurare', eventually forming the modern English term 'deliberately-restored'.
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully', and 'restored' meant 'to renew'. Together, they evolved to mean 'intentionally brought back to a previous state'.
