deliberate assessment
Etymology
'intentionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intentio,' where 'in-' meant 'toward' and 'tendere' meant 'to stretch.' 'Evaluate' comes from Latin 'valere,' meaning 'to be strong or worthy.'
'intention' transformed from the Old French word 'intencion,' and 'evaluate' evolved from the French 'évaluer,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'intentionally' and 'evaluate.'
Initially, 'intention' meant 'a stretching or straining,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'purpose or aim.' 'Evaluate' originally meant 'to assess worth,' which remains largely unchanged.
