intentionally-limited
|in-ten-tion-al-ly-lim-it-ed|
/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli ˈlɪmɪtɪd/
deliberately restricted
Etymology
'intentionally-limited' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'limited', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'limited' from Latin 'limitare' meaning 'to bound or confine'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', while 'limited' transformed from Latin 'limitare' through Old French 'limiter'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out' and 'limited' meant 'to bound or confine', but over time they evolved to mean 'done on purpose' and 'restricted in extent', respectively.
