Etymology
'gracefully-displayed' originates from the combination of 'gracefully' and 'displayed', where 'gracefully' comes from 'grace' meaning 'elegance' and 'displayed' from 'display' meaning 'to show'.
'gracefully' evolved from the Old French word 'grace' and 'displayed' from the Old French 'despleier', eventually forming the modern English term 'gracefully-displayed'.
Initially, 'gracefully' meant 'with elegance' and 'displayed' meant 'shown', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
