Etymology
'deliberately-shaped' originates from the combination of 'deliberately,' meaning 'done consciously and intentionally,' and 'shaped,' meaning 'formed or molded.'
The term 'deliberately' comes from the Latin word 'deliberatus,' meaning 'considered carefully,' while 'shaped' comes from the Old English 'sceapian,' meaning 'to create or form.'
Initially, 'deliberately' meant 'considered carefully,' and 'shaped' meant 'to form.' Together, they evolved to mean 'intentionally formed.'
