/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli-fɪkst/
deliberately set
Etymology
'intentionally-fixed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'fixed', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus' meaning 'fastened'.
'Intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', while 'fixed' evolved from Latin 'fixus' through Old French 'fixer'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out of the mind', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Over time, they combined to mean 'deliberately set'.
