'perpetually-preserved' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'perpetuus,' where 'per-' meant 'through' and 'petere' meant 'to seek,' combined with 'preservare,' where 'pre-' meant 'before' and 'servare' meant 'to keep.'

'perpetuus' transformed into the Old French word 'perpetuel,' and eventually became the modern English word 'perpetual.' Similarly, 'preservare' evolved into the Old French 'preserver,' leading to the modern English 'preserve.'

Initially, 'perpetual' meant 'lasting forever,' and 'preserve' meant 'to keep safe.' Combined, they evolved into the current meaning of 'continuously maintained in its original state.'
