Etymology
Etymology Information

'deliberately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh or balance.' 'Shared' comes from Old English 'scearu,' meaning 'a division or part.'

Historical Evolution

'deliberatus' transformed into the French word 'délibérer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Scearu' evolved into the Middle English 'sheren,' leading to the modern English 'share.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh or consider,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'intentional.' 'Share' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to divide or distribute.'
