|in-ten-tion-al-ly-changed|
/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli-tʃeɪndʒd/
deliberately altered
Etymology
'intentionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intentio,' where 'in-' meant 'toward' and 'tendere' meant 'to stretch.' 'Changed' comes from Old French 'changier,' meaning 'to alter or exchange.'
'Intentional' evolved from the Latin 'intentionalis,' while 'changed' transformed from the Old French 'changier' to the modern English 'change.'
Initially, 'intentional' meant 'stretching towards a goal,' and 'changed' meant 'to alter.' Over time, 'intentionally-changed' evolved to mean 'deliberately altered.'
