Etymology
'delicately-crafted' originates from the combination of 'delicate' and 'craft,' where 'delicate' meant 'fine or intricate' and 'craft' meant 'to make or create.'
'delicate' changed from the Latin word 'delicatus' and 'craft' from the Old English 'cræft,' eventually forming the modern English term 'delicately-crafted.'
Initially, 'delicate' meant 'fine or intricate,' and 'craft' meant 'to make or create,' evolving into the current meaning of 'made with great care and attention to detail.'
