Etymology
'masterfully-crafted' originates from the combination of 'masterful' and 'crafted', where 'masterful' comes from 'master', meaning 'a person with the ability or power to control', and 'crafted' from 'craft', meaning 'to make or produce with skill'.
'masterful' evolved from the Old English word 'mægester', and 'craft' from the Old English 'cræft', eventually forming the modern English term 'masterfully-crafted'.
Initially, 'masterful' meant 'having the skill of a master', and 'craft' meant 'skill in making things', evolving into the current meaning of 'created with exceptional skill'.
