'landform-shaped' originates from the combination of 'landform' and 'shaped', where 'landform' refers to a natural feature of the earth's surface and 'shaped' means having a specific form.

The term 'landform-shaped' evolved from the need to describe objects or features that mimic the natural contours of the earth.

Initially, it meant 'having the form of a landform', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
