'explicitly-made' is a compound formed from the adverb 'explicitly' and the past participle 'made'. 'explicitly' ultimately comes from Latin 'explicitus' via English 'explicit', while 'made' comes from Old English 'macian' (via Middle English 'maken'/'made').

'explicitly' developed from Latin 'explicitus' → Old French/Medieval Latin forms → Middle English 'explicit' → modern English 'explicit' + adverbial suffix '-ly'; 'made' derives from Old English 'macian' (to make) → Middle English 'maken' with past participle 'made' → modern English 'make/made'. The compound 'explicitly-made' is a modern English formation combining those elements.

Initially, the components meant 'clearly stated' (from 'explicit') and 'to create' (from 'make'); combined as a compound the phrase now specifically conveys 'created in a clear, deliberate, or specified manner.'
