Etymology
'originally-applied' is a compound word formed from 'originally' and 'applied'. 'Originally' comes from the Latin 'originem', meaning 'beginning or source', and 'applied' is derived from the Latin 'applicare', meaning 'to attach or join'.
'Originally' evolved from the Latin 'originem' through Old French 'origine', while 'applied' transformed from Latin 'applicare' through Old French 'applier'.
The term 'originally-applied' has maintained its meaning of referring to something used or implemented from the start.
