Etymology
Etymology Information

'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.'

Historical Evolution

'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.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'opulent' meant 'wealthy' or 'rich,' and 'craft' meant 'skill.' Together, 'opulently-crafted' evolved to mean 'made with great wealth and skill.'
