'modernly-formed' originates from the combination of 'modernly,' an adverb form of 'modern,' and 'formed,' the past participle of 'form.'

'modernly' evolved from the Middle English word 'moderne,' which came from the Latin 'modernus,' meaning 'of today.' 'Formed' comes from the Old French 'former,' which means 'to shape or create.'

Initially, 'modernly' meant 'in a modern manner,' and 'formed' meant 'shaped or created.' Together, they convey the idea of being shaped in a contemporary way.
