deliberate allocation
Etymology
'intentionally-distributed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'distributed'. 'Intentionally' comes from the Latin word 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'distributed' comes from the Latin word 'distribuere', meaning 'to divide or assign'.
'Intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', while 'distributed' evolved from Latin 'distribuere' through Old French 'distribuer'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'distributed' meant 'to divide or assign'. The combined term 'intentionally-distributed' retains these meanings, emphasizing deliberate allocation.
