Etymology
'intricately-controlled' originates from the combination of 'intricate' and 'control', where 'intricate' comes from Latin 'intricatus', meaning 'entangled' and 'control' from French 'contreroller', meaning 'to check or verify'.
'intricate' changed from the Latin word 'intricatus' and 'control' from the French word 'contreroller', eventually forming the modern English term 'intricately-controlled'.
Initially, 'intricate' meant 'entangled or complex', and 'control' meant 'to check or verify'. Over time, 'intricately-controlled' evolved to mean 'managed with great detail and precision'.
