Etymology
'exactly-crafted' originates from the combination of 'exactly' and 'crafted', where 'exactly' comes from Latin 'exactus', meaning 'precisely', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan', meaning 'to make or build'.
'exactly' evolved from the Latin 'exactus' through Middle English 'exact', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan', eventually forming the modern English term 'exactly-crafted'.
Initially, 'exactly' meant 'precisely' and 'crafted' meant 'to make', and together they have retained the meaning of 'meticulously made'.
