/ɪnˈtɛnʃənəli-seɪvd/
deliberate preservation
Etymology
'intentionally-saved' originates from the combination of 'intentionally,' derived from the Latin 'intentio,' meaning 'a stretching out,' and 'saved,' from the Old English 'safian,' meaning 'to make safe.'
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin 'intentio' through Old French 'intencion,' while 'saved' transformed from Old English 'safian' to the modern English 'save.'
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose,' and 'saved' meant 'to make safe.' The combined term 'intentionally-saved' retains the essence of both meanings, emphasizing deliberate preservation.
