Etymology
'imaginative' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'imaginativus,' where 'imagin-' meant 'image or likeness.' 'Craft' originates from Old English 'cræft,' meaning 'skill or strength.'
'imaginative' evolved from Middle English 'imaginatif,' and 'craft' from Old English 'cræft,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'imaginative' and 'craft.'
Initially, 'imaginative' meant 'having the power to create images,' and 'craft' meant 'skill or strength.' Over time, 'imaginatively-crafted' evolved to mean 'created with creativity and originality.'
