'elegantly-finished' is a compound word combining 'elegantly' and 'finished'. 'Elegantly' originates from Latin 'elegans', meaning 'tasteful', and 'finished' comes from Old French 'finiss-', meaning 'to end or complete'.

'Elegantly' evolved from the Latin 'elegans' through Old French 'elegant', while 'finished' transformed from Old French 'finiss-' to Middle English 'finisshen', eventually becoming 'finished'.

Initially, 'elegantly' meant 'tasteful or choice', and 'finished' meant 'to end or complete'. Together, they evolved to describe something completed with sophistication.
