intentionally-aged
|in-ten-tion-al-ly-aged|
/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli eɪdʒd/
deliberately matured
Etymology
'intentionally-aged' originates from the English word 'intentionally,' which comes from the Latin word 'intentio,' meaning 'a stretching out,' and 'aged,' from the Old French 'aage,' meaning 'age or period of life.'
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion,' and 'aged' from Old French 'aage,' eventually forming the modern English term 'intentionally-aged.'
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose,' and 'aged' referred to the process of growing older. Together, they evolved to describe the deliberate process of maturing something to enhance its qualities.
