Etymology
'opulently-crafted' is a compound word formed from 'opulently' (from 'opulent') and 'crafted' (from 'craft'). 'Opulent' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'opulentus,' meaning 'wealthy' or 'rich.' 'Craft' comes from Old English 'cræft,' meaning 'strength, skill.'
'Opulentus' in Latin became 'opulent' in English, and 'cræft' in Old English became 'craft.' The adverb 'opulently' and the past participle 'crafted' were combined in modern English to form 'opulently-crafted.'
Initially, 'opulent' meant 'wealthy' or 'rich,' and 'craft' meant 'skill.' Together, 'opulently-crafted' evolved to mean 'made with great wealth and skill.'
