'delicately-formed' originates from the combination of 'delicate' and 'formed', where 'delicate' comes from Latin 'delicatus', meaning 'giving pleasure, delightful'.

'delicate' changed from the Latin word 'delicatus' and eventually became the modern English word 'delicate'.

Initially, 'delicate' meant 'giving pleasure, delightful', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'fine or intricate'.
