'externally-produced' originates from the combination of 'external' and 'produce.' 'External' comes from Latin 'externus,' meaning 'outside,' and 'produce' comes from Latin 'producere,' meaning 'to bring forth.'

'External' evolved from the Latin 'externus' through Old French 'externe,' while 'produce' evolved from Latin 'producere' through Old French 'produire.'

Initially, 'external' meant 'outside,' and 'produce' meant 'to bring forth.' The combined term 'externally-produced' retains the meaning of being produced outside a specific context.
