'modernly-borne' originates from the combination of 'modernly,' derived from 'modern,' and 'borne,' the past participle of 'bear,' meaning 'to carry or support.'

'modernly' evolved from the Middle English 'moderne,' and 'borne' from the Old English 'boren,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'modernly-borne.'

Initially, 'borne' meant 'carried or supported,' and 'modernly' referred to 'in a modern way.' Together, they evolved to describe something carried or transmitted in a modern style.
