restricted preservation
Etymology
'exclusively-preserved' originates from the combination of 'exclusive' and 'preserve', where 'exclusive' meant 'restricted to a particular group' and 'preserve' meant 'to maintain or keep in its original state'.
'exclusive' and 'preserve' were combined to form the modern English term 'exclusively-preserved'.
Initially, it meant 'kept for a specific group', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
