Etymology
Etymology Information

'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.'

Historical Evolution

'intention' transformed from the Old French word 'intencion,' and 'evaluate' evolved from the French 'évaluer,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'intentionally' and 'evaluate.'

Meaning Changes

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.
