Etymology
'inventively-designed' originates from the combination of 'inventive' and 'design', where 'inventive' comes from Latin 'inventivus', meaning 'able to find out' and 'design' from Latin 'designare', meaning 'to mark out'.
'inventive' changed from the Latin word 'inventivus' and 'design' from 'designare', eventually becoming the modern English words 'inventive' and 'design'.
Initially, 'inventive' meant 'able to find out', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'creative'.
