'intentionally-recognized' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'recognized'. 'Intentionally' comes from the Latin 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'recognized' from the Latin 'recognoscere', meaning 'to know again'.

'Intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', while 'recognized' evolved from the Latin 'recognoscere' through Old French 'reconoistre'.

Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'recognized' meant 'to know again'. The combined term 'intentionally-recognized' maintains these meanings in modern usage.
