'harshly-created' originates from the combination of 'harshly,' an adverb meaning 'in a harsh manner,' and 'created,' the past participle of 'create,' meaning 'to bring into existence.'

'harshly' comes from the Old English word 'heorcnian,' meaning 'to hear,' which evolved into 'harsh' in Middle English, while 'create' comes from the Latin 'creare,' meaning 'to produce.'

Initially, 'harshly' meant 'in a rough or severe manner,' and 'created' meant 'brought into existence.' The combination retains these meanings.
