Etymology
'originally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'originalis,' where 'origin-' meant 'beginning.' 'shown' is the past participle of 'show,' which comes from Old English 'sceawian,' meaning 'to look at.'
'originally' changed from the Latin word 'originalis' and eventually became the modern English word 'originally.' 'shown' evolved from the Old English 'sceawian' to the modern English 'show.'
Initially, 'originally' meant 'from the beginning,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage. 'Shown' meant 'to look at' and evolved to mean 'to display or present.'
