'equitably-given' originates from the Latin word 'aequitas,' meaning 'equity' or 'fairness,' combined with the Old English 'giefan,' meaning 'to give.'

'aequitas' transformed into the Middle English word 'equite,' and 'giefan' evolved into 'give,' eventually forming the modern English term 'equitably-given.'

Initially, it meant 'to give in a fair manner,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
