harm or injury
Etymology
'intentionally-damaged' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'damaged'. 'Intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'damaged' comes from Old French 'damager', meaning 'to cause loss or harm'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio', through Old French 'intencion', and 'damaged' evolved from Old French 'damager', eventually forming the modern English term 'intentionally-damaged'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'damaged' meant 'harmed or impaired'. The combined term 'intentionally-damaged' retains these meanings, emphasizing deliberate harm.
