Etymology
Etymology Information

'intentionally-crafted' originates from the combination of 'intentionally,' derived from Latin 'intentio,' meaning 'a stretching out,' and 'crafted,' from Old English 'cræftan,' meaning 'to build or make.'

Historical Evolution

'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion,' while 'crafted' transformed from Old English 'cræftan' to the modern English 'craft.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out' in a physical sense, but it evolved to mean 'with purpose or design.' 'Crafted' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to build or make.'
