'discreetly-declared' originates from the combination of 'discreetly' and 'declared'. 'Discreetly' comes from the Latin 'discretus', meaning 'separated' or 'distinct', and 'declared' from the Latin 'declarare', meaning 'to make clear'.

'Discreetly' evolved from the Middle English 'discreet', while 'declared' evolved from the Old French 'declarer'.

Initially, 'discreetly' meant 'separated' or 'distinct', but over time it evolved to mean 'tactful' or 'subtle'. 'Declared' has largely retained its meaning of 'to make known'.
