'internationally-known' originates from the combination of 'internationally' and 'known', where 'internationally' is derived from 'international', meaning 'between nations', and 'known' is the past participle of 'know', meaning 'to be aware of'.

'internationally' evolved from the Latin 'inter' meaning 'between' and 'natio' meaning 'nation', while 'known' comes from the Old English 'cnāwan', meaning 'to know'.

Initially, 'internationally' meant 'between nations', and 'known' meant 'to be aware of'. Together, they evolved to mean 'recognized globally'.
