The compound 'often-voiced' is formed from the adverb 'often' (from Old English 'oft', meaning 'frequently') and the past participle 'voiced' (from the verb 'voice', meaning 'to express in words').

'Often' and 'voiced' were combined in modern English to create the compound adjective 'often-voiced', used to describe something frequently expressed aloud.

Initially, the parts meant 'frequently' and 'expressed in words', and together they now mean 'frequently expressed or stated aloud'.
