creatively made
Etymology
'inventively' originates from 'inventive,' which comes from Latin 'inventivus,' meaning 'able to find out.' 'Crafted' comes from Old English 'cræftan,' meaning 'to build or make.'
'inventive' evolved from the Latin 'inventivus' through Old French 'inventif,' and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan' to modern English 'craft.'
Initially, 'inventive' meant 'able to find out,' but now it implies creativity and originality. 'Crafted' has retained its meaning of 'to make or build.'
