Etymology
'heritage-borne' originates from the combination of 'heritage,' which comes from Old French 'eritage,' meaning 'inheritance,' and 'borne,' the past participle of 'bear,' from Old English 'beran,' meaning 'to carry.'
'heritage' evolved from Old French 'eritage' to Middle English 'heritage,' while 'borne' evolved from Old English 'beran' to Middle English 'born.'
Initially, 'heritage' meant 'inheritance,' and 'borne' meant 'carried.' Together, they evolved to mean 'carried through tradition or inheritance.'
