Etymology
'freshly-delivered' originates from the combination of 'freshly' and 'delivered'. 'Freshly' comes from 'fresh', which originates from Old English 'fresc', meaning 'new, not stale'. 'Delivered' comes from Latin 'deliberare', meaning 'to set free'.
'Freshly-delivered' combines the adjective 'freshly' with the past participle 'delivered', forming a compound adjective.
Initially, 'freshly' meant 'newly' and 'delivered' meant 'brought to a place'. The compound retains this meaning in modern usage.
