'electronically-stored' originates from the combination of 'electronic' and 'store,' where 'electronic' refers to devices or systems that operate using electricity, and 'store' means to keep or accumulate for future use.

'electronically' evolved from the word 'electronic,' which came into use in the early 20th century, and 'store' has been used since Old English as 'stōr.'

Initially, 'store' meant 'to keep or accumulate,' and with the advent of technology, 'electronically-stored' evolved to mean 'stored in a digital format.'
