(gradually-deploy)
staged implementation
Etymology
'gradually-deployed' originates from the combination of 'gradually' and 'deploy', where 'gradually' comes from Latin 'gradualis', meaning 'step by step', and 'deploy' from French 'déployer', meaning 'to unfold'.
'Gradually' evolved from the Latin 'gradualis' through Old French 'graduel', and 'deploy' from French 'déployer', eventually forming the modern English term 'gradually-deployed'.
Initially, 'gradually' meant 'step by step', and 'deploy' meant 'to unfold or spread out'. Together, they evolved to mean 'implemented in stages'.
