Etymology
'harshly-generated' originates from the combination of 'harshly' and 'generated'. 'Harshly' comes from the Old English word 'heorcnian', meaning 'to hear', and 'generated' comes from the Latin word 'generare', meaning 'to produce'.
'harshly' evolved from the Old English 'heorcnian' to the Middle English 'harsh', and 'generated' evolved from the Latin 'generare' to the Middle English 'generate'.
Initially, 'harshly' meant 'to hear', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'severely'. 'Generated' has largely retained its original meaning of 'produced'.
