'hand-shaped' originates from the combination of 'hand' and 'shaped', where 'hand' refers to the human hand and 'shaped' means formed or molded.

'hand-shaped' evolved from the Old English word 'hand' and the Middle English word 'shaped', eventually becoming the modern English word 'hand-shaped'.

Initially, it meant 'formed like a hand', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
