Etymology
Etymology Information

'deliberate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh or balance.' 'Update' originates from the combination of 'up' and 'date,' where 'up' implies 'to a higher level' and 'date' refers to 'a particular time.'

Historical Evolution

'deliberate' changed from the Latin word 'deliberatus' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Update' evolved from the combination of 'up' and 'date' in modern English.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh or consider carefully,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'done consciously and intentionally.' 'Update' has largely retained its meaning of 'bringing something to a more current state.'
