Etymology
'harmoniously-settled' originates from the combination of 'harmonious' and 'settled', where 'harmonious' comes from the Latin 'harmonia', meaning 'agreement' or 'concord', and 'settled' from Old English 'setlan', meaning 'to place or establish'.
'harmonious' evolved from the Latin 'harmonia' through Old French 'harmonie', and 'settled' from Old English 'setlan', eventually forming the modern English term 'harmoniously-settled'.
Initially, 'harmonious' meant 'in agreement', and 'settled' meant 'established'. Together, they evolved to mean 'in a state of peaceful agreement'.
