'modestly-produced' originates from the English word 'modest,' which comes from the Latin word 'modestus,' meaning 'keeping within measure,' and 'produce,' from the Latin 'producere,' meaning 'to bring forth.'

'modestus' transformed into the Old French word 'modeste,' and eventually became the modern English word 'modest.' 'Producere' evolved into the Middle English 'producen,' leading to the modern English 'produce.'

Initially, 'modest' meant 'keeping within measure,' and 'produce' meant 'to bring forth.' Over time, 'modestly-produced' evolved to describe something created with limited resources.
