Etymology
'distinctively-displayed' originates from the combination of 'distinctive' and 'displayed'. 'Distinctive' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'distinguished', and 'displayed' from Old French 'despleier', meaning 'to unfold'.
'distinctive' evolved from Latin 'distinctus' through Middle English, while 'displayed' transformed from Old French 'despleier' to modern English 'display'.
Initially, 'distinctive' meant 'distinguished or separate', and 'displayed' meant 'unfolded'. Over time, they combined to mean 'shown in a unique manner'.
