'explicitly-formed' originates from the Latin word 'explicitus,' where 'ex-' meant 'out' and 'plicare' meant 'to fold,' combined with 'formed' from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape.'

'explicitus' transformed into the English word 'explicit,' and 'formare' became 'form,' eventually combining to form the modern English word 'explicitly-formed.'

Initially, 'explicit' meant 'unfolded' or 'clear,' and 'form' meant 'shape,' evolving into the current meaning of 'clearly and specifically created.'
