/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli rɪˈtriːvd/
deliberately recovered
Etymology
'intentionally-retrieved' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'retrieved', where 'intentionally' comes from Latin 'intentio' meaning 'a stretching out' and 'retrieved' from Old French 'retrouver' meaning 'to find again'.
'intentionally' changed from Latin 'intentio' to Old French 'intencion' and eventually became the modern English word 'intentionally'. 'Retrieved' evolved from Old French 'retrouver' to Middle English 'retrieven'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'a stretching out' and 'retrieved' meant 'to find again', but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'deliberately' and 'recovered'.
