Etymology
'intentionally-modified' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'modified', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'modified' from Latin 'modificare' meaning 'to measure or limit'.
'intentionally-modified' evolved from the combination of the words 'intentionally' and 'modified', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'intentionally-modified' meant 'changed with intent', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
