deliberate restoration
Etymology
'intentionally-renovated' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'renovated'. 'Intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio', meaning 'a stretching out', and 'renovated' from Latin 'renovare', meaning 'to renew'.
'intentionally-renovated' combines the modern English words 'intentionally' and 'renovated', which have been used in English since the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'renovated' meant 'to make new again'. The combined term retains these meanings, emphasizing deliberate restoration.
