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

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

Initially, 'modernly' meant 'in a modern manner,' and 'shown' meant 'to display.' Together, they evolved to mean 'displayed in a contemporary manner.'
