'inventively-applied' originates from the English word 'inventive,' which comes from the Latin word 'inventivus,' meaning 'able to discover or devise.' The word 'applied' comes from the Latin 'applicare,' meaning 'to attach or join.'

'inventive' changed from the Latin word 'inventivus' and eventually became the modern English word 'inventive.' 'Applied' transformed from the Latin 'applicare' through Old French 'appliquer' and eventually became the modern English word 'applied.'

Initially, 'inventive' meant 'able to discover or devise,' and 'applied' meant 'to attach or join.' Over time, 'inventively-applied' evolved to mean 'applied in a creative or original manner.'
