authentic alteration
Etymology
'genuinely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'genuinus,' meaning 'natural' or 'innate.' 'Changed' comes from Old French 'changier,' meaning 'to alter or exchange.'
'genuinely' evolved from the Latin 'genuinus' through Middle English, while 'changed' transformed from Old French 'changier' to the modern English 'change.'
Initially, 'genuinely' meant 'natural or innate,' and 'changed' meant 'to alter or exchange.' Over time, 'genuinely-changed' has come to mean 'altered in a sincere or authentic manner.'
