Etymology
'narrowly-communicated' originates from the combination of 'narrowly' and 'communicated', where 'narrowly' means 'in a limited manner' and 'communicated' means 'conveyed or shared'.
'Narrowly' and 'communicated' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, with 'narrowly' evolving from Old English 'nearu' meaning 'constricted' and 'communicated' from Latin 'communicare' meaning 'to share'.
Initially, 'narrowly' meant 'in a constricted manner', and 'communicated' meant 'to share information'. Together, they evolved to mean 'shared in a limited manner'.
