Etymology
'masterfully-made' originates from the English word 'masterful,' which comes from the Old English 'mægester,' meaning 'master,' combined with 'made,' from the Old English 'macian,' meaning 'to make.'
'masterful' evolved from the Old English 'mægester' and 'made' from 'macian,' eventually forming the modern English term 'masterfully-made.'
Initially, 'masterful' meant 'having the skill of a master,' and 'made' meant 'created.' Over time, 'masterfully-made' evolved to mean 'created with exceptional skill.'
