Etymology
'intentionally-refreshed' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'refreshed', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'refreshed' from Old French 'refreschir', meaning 'to make fresh again'.
'intentionally' evolved from Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion', and 'refreshed' from Old French 'refreschir', eventually forming the modern English compound 'intentionally-refreshed'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'refreshed' meant 'made fresh again'. The compound 'intentionally-refreshed' retains these meanings, emphasizing deliberate renewal.
