Etymology
'innovatively-preserved' originates from the combination of 'innovative' and 'preserved'. 'Innovative' comes from the Latin word 'innovare', meaning 'to renew or change', and 'preserved' comes from the Latin 'praeservare', meaning 'to keep safe'.
'Innovative' evolved from the Latin 'innovare' through Old French 'innovatif', while 'preserved' evolved from Latin 'praeservare' through Old French 'preserver'.
Initially, 'innovative' meant 'to renew or change', and 'preserved' meant 'to keep safe'. Together, they now imply maintaining something using new methods.
