Etymology
'perfectly-crafted' originates from the combination of 'perfectly' and 'crafted', where 'perfectly' comes from the Latin 'perfectus', meaning 'completed', and 'crafted' from the Old English 'cræftan', meaning 'to build or make'.
'perfectly' evolved from the Latin 'perfectus' through Old French 'parfait', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræftan', eventually forming the modern English term 'perfectly-crafted'.
Initially, 'perfectly' meant 'completely' and 'crafted' meant 'made', and together they have retained the meaning of 'skillfully made'.
