'distinctively-shaped' originates from the word 'distinctive,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'distinctivus,' where 'distinct-' meant 'distinguished or separate.'

'distinctivus' transformed into the French word 'distinctif,' and eventually became the modern English word 'distinctive' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'distinguished or separate,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having a unique or recognizable shape.'
