'modern' evolved from the Latin 'modernus' through Old French 'moderne,' and 'made' from Old English 'macian,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'modern-made.'
Initially, 'modern' referred to anything pertaining to the present or recent times, and 'made' meant 'created.' Together, 'modern-made' has consistently meant 'created in contemporary times.'
