Etymology
'elegantly-structured' originates from the combination of 'elegant' and 'structured'. 'Elegant' comes from the Latin word 'elegans', meaning 'tasteful' or 'refined', while 'structured' is derived from the Latin 'structura', meaning 'a fitting together, building'.
'Elegans' transformed into the Old French word 'elegant', and eventually became the modern English word 'elegant'. 'Structura' evolved into the Old French 'structure', leading to the modern English 'structure'.
Initially, 'elegant' meant 'tasteful or refined', and 'structured' meant 'built or arranged'. Together, they convey a sense of refined organization.
