Etymology
'intentionally-shown' originates from the combination of 'intentionally' and 'shown', where 'intentionally' is derived from 'intention', meaning 'purpose or plan', and 'shown' is the past participle of 'show', meaning 'to display or reveal'.
'intentionally' evolved from the Latin word 'intentio', and 'shown' from the Old English 'sceawian', eventually forming the modern English term 'intentionally-shown'.
Initially, 'intentionally' meant 'with intention or purpose', and 'shown' meant 'displayed'. Together, they convey the idea of something being displayed with purpose.
