Etymology
'intentionally-performed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'performed', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'performed' from Old French 'parformer' meaning 'to carry out'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', and 'performed' from Old French 'parformer', eventually becoming the modern English 'intentionally-performed'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention' and 'performed' meant 'carried out', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
