Etymology
'harmoniously-matched' is a compound formed from 'harmoniously' (from 'harmony') and 'matched' (from 'match'), where 'harmoniously' means 'in a harmonious manner' and 'matched' means 'paired or suited together.'
'harmoniously-matched' is a modern English compound phrase, combining the adverb 'harmoniously' and the past participle 'matched' to describe things that are well-suited in a harmonious way.
Initially, the components meant 'in a harmonious way' and 'paired,' and together they evolved to mean 'perfectly compatible or suited in a harmonious manner.'
