Etymology
'faithfully-represented' originates from the combination of 'faithfully' and 'represented'. 'Faithfully' comes from 'faith', which has roots in Latin 'fides', meaning 'trust' or 'belief'. 'Represented' comes from Latin 'repraesentare', meaning 'to present again'.
'Faithfully' evolved from Old French 'feith', and 'represented' from Old French 'representer'.
Initially, 'faithfully' meant 'with faith or trust', and 'represented' meant 'to present again'. Over time, they combined to mean 'accurately depicted'.
