Etymology
'elegantly-crafted' originates from the combination of 'elegant' and 'craft,' where 'elegant' comes from Latin 'elegans,' meaning 'tasteful,' and 'craft' from Old English 'cræft,' meaning 'skill or art.'
'elegant' evolved from the Latin 'elegans' through Old French 'elegant,' while 'craft' transitioned from Old English 'cræft' to the modern English 'craft.'
Initially, 'elegant' meant 'tasteful or refined,' and 'craft' meant 'skill or art,' which together evolved to describe something skillfully and beautifully made.
