'passively-made' originates from the combination of 'passive' and 'made'. 'Passive' comes from Latin 'passivus', meaning 'capable of suffering or feeling', and 'made' is the past participle of 'make', from Old English 'macian'.

'passive' evolved from Latin 'passivus' through Old French 'passif', and 'made' from Old English 'macian', eventually forming the modern English term 'passively-made'.

Initially, 'passive' meant 'capable of suffering', but over time it evolved to mean 'inactive or not participating', and 'made' retained its meaning of 'created or formed'.
