/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli dɪˈspleɪd/
deliberately shown
Etymology
'intentionally-displayed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'displayed', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'displayed' from Old French 'despleier' meaning 'to unfold'.
'intentionally' changed from the Latin word 'intentio' and 'displayed' from the Old French word 'despleier', eventually becoming the modern English phrase 'intentionally-displayed'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out' and 'displayed' meant 'to unfold', but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'deliberately' and 'shown', respectively.
