Etymology
'harmoniously-developed' originates from the combination of 'harmonious' and 'developed'. 'Harmonious' comes from the Greek word 'harmonia', meaning 'agreement or concord', and 'developed' is derived from the Old French 'desveloper', meaning 'to unwrap or unfold'.
'Harmonious' changed from the Greek word 'harmonia' to the Latin 'harmonia', and eventually became the modern English word 'harmonious'. 'Developed' evolved from the Old French 'desveloper' to the modern English 'develop'.
Initially, 'harmonious' meant 'agreement or concord', and 'developed' meant 'to unwrap or unfold'. Over time, 'harmoniously-developed' evolved to mean 'developed in a balanced and pleasing manner'.
