/ɪnˈvɛntɪvli tʃeɪndʒd/
creatively altered
Etymology
'inventively-changed' originates from the English word 'inventive,' which comes from the Latin word 'inventivus,' meaning 'able to discover.' The word 'changed' is derived from the Old French 'changier,' meaning 'to alter or exchange.'
'inventive' evolved from the Latin 'inventivus' through Old French 'inventif,' while 'changed' transformed from Old French 'changier' to Middle English 'chaungen,' eventually becoming the modern English 'change.'
Initially, 'inventive' meant 'able to discover,' and 'changed' meant 'to alter.' Over time, 'inventively-changed' evolved to mean 'altered in a creative manner.'
