'intentionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intentio,' where 'in-' meant 'toward' and 'tendere' meant 'to stretch.' 'Positioned' comes from Latin 'positio,' meaning 'a placing.'

'intentionally' changed from the Old French word 'intencion' and eventually became the modern English word 'intention.' 'Positioned' evolved from the Latin 'positio' through Middle English 'posicioun.'

Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'stretching toward a goal,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'done on purpose.' 'Positioned' has largely retained its original meaning of 'placed in a specific location.'
