'old-fashioned' originates from the combination of 'old' and 'fashioned,' where 'old' meant 'of a previous era' and 'fashioned' meant 'made or shaped.'

'old-fashioned' changed from the Middle English word 'olde' and 'fashouned' and eventually became the modern English word 'old-fashioned.'

Initially, it meant 'made in an old style,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'resembling or characteristic of a past era.'
