'human-produced' originates from Modern English, specifically the compound of 'human' and the past-participle form 'produced' (from the verb 'produce').

'human' comes from Old French 'humain' and Latin 'humanus'; 'produce' comes from Latin 'producere' (pro- 'forward' + ducere 'to lead') via Old French 'produire' and Middle English 'producen', with the past participle evolving to 'produced'. The compound 'human-produced' formed in Modern English by combining the adjective/noun 'human' with the past participle 'produced'.

Initially, components like Latin 'producere' meant 'to lead or bring forth'; over time 'produce' came to mean 'to create or make', and the compound 'human-produced' came to mean 'made by humans' rather than 'led forth' in a literal sense.
