evidently-shaped
|ev-i-dent-ly-shaped|
/ˈɛvɪdəntli ʃeɪpt/
clearly formed
Etymology
'evidently-shaped' originates from the English word 'evident,' which comes from the Latin word 'evidens,' meaning 'clear, obvious,' and the English word 'shape,' which comes from the Old English 'sceapian,' meaning 'to create, form.'
'Evident' changed from the Latin word 'evidens' and 'shape' from the Old English 'sceapian,' eventually combining to form the modern English term 'evidently-shaped.'
Initially, 'evident' meant 'clear or obvious,' and 'shape' meant 'to form or create.' The combination 'evidently-shaped' retains the meaning of being clearly formed or obvious in appearance.
