Etymology
'intentionally-formed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'formed'. 'Intentionally' comes from the Latin 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'formed' from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio', through Old French 'intencion', and into Middle English 'intencioun'. 'Formed' evolved from the Latin 'formare', through Old French 'former', and into Middle English 'formen'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out' and 'formed' meant 'to shape'. Over time, 'intentionally-formed' evolved to mean 'created with deliberate intent'.
