Etymology
'intentionally-decided' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'decided', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'decided' from Latin 'decidere' meaning 'to cut off'.
'intentionally-decided' evolved from the combination of the words 'intentionally' and 'decided', which have been used in English since the late Middle Ages.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention' and 'decided' meant 'determined', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
