extravagantly-produced
|ex-trav-a-gant-ly-pro-duced|
/ɪkˈstrævəɡəntli prəˈdjuːst/
excessively elaborate
Etymology
'extravagantly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'extravagari,' where 'extra-' meant 'outside' and 'vagari' meant 'to wander.' 'Produced' comes from Latin 'producere,' where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead.'
'extravagantly' changed from the Latin word 'extravagari' and eventually became the modern English word 'extravagant.' 'Produced' evolved from the Latin 'producere' through Old French 'produire' to the modern English 'produce.'
Initially, 'extravagantly' meant 'wandering outside,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'excessively elaborate.' 'Produced' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to lead forward or create.'
