Etymology
'intentionally-harmed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'harmed', where 'intentionally' means 'done on purpose' and 'harmed' means 'caused damage or injury'.
'intentionally' comes from the Latin word 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'harmed' comes from Old English 'hearm', meaning 'injury or damage'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'harmed' meant 'injured or damaged'. The combined term 'intentionally-harmed' retains these meanings.
