Etymology
'deliberately-retrieved' originates from the combination of 'deliberately,' meaning 'on purpose,' and 'retrieved,' meaning 'brought back or recovered.'
The term 'deliberately-retrieved' combines the adverb 'deliberately' from Middle English 'deliberat' and the verb 'retrieve' from Old French 'retrouver.'
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'with careful consideration,' and 'retrieve' meant 'to find again.' Together, they evolved to mean 'intentionally recovered.'
