deliberate refusal
Etymology
'intentionally-denied' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'denied'. 'Intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'denied' comes from Latin 'denegare', meaning 'to refuse'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', and 'denied' evolved from Latin 'denegare' through Old French 'denier'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'denied' meant 'refused'. The combined form 'intentionally-denied' retains these meanings.
