'elegantly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'elegans,' where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'legere' meant 'to choose.' 'Designed' comes from Latin 'designare,' meaning 'to mark out.'

'Elegans' transformed into the Old French word 'elegant,' and eventually became the modern English word 'elegant.' 'Designare' evolved into the Italian 'disegnare,' and then into the English 'design.'

Initially, 'elegant' meant 'tastefully chosen,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'graceful and stylish.' 'Design' originally meant 'to mark out,' but now refers to the process of creating a plan or drawing.
