Etymology
'indirectly-presented' originates from the combination of 'indirectly' and 'presented', where 'indirectly' comes from Latin 'indirectus', meaning 'not straight', and 'presented' from Latin 'praesentare', meaning 'to place before'.
'indirectly-presented' evolved from the combination of the words 'indirectly' and 'presented', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'indirectly' meant 'not in a direct manner', and 'presented' meant 'to show or offer'. Together, they evolved to mean 'shown in a non-explicit way'.
