'notably-preserved' originates from the combination of 'notably' and 'preserved'. 'Notably' comes from the Latin word 'notabilis', meaning 'worthy of note', and 'preserved' comes from the Latin 'praeservare', meaning 'to keep safe'.

'Notably' evolved from the Latin 'notabilis' through Old French 'notable', and 'preserved' evolved from the Latin 'praeservare' through Old French 'preserver'.

Initially, 'notably' meant 'worthy of note', and 'preserved' meant 'to keep safe'. The combined term 'notably-preserved' retains these meanings, emphasizing the remarkable condition of preservation.
