Etymology
'personally-supported' originates from the combination of 'personally' and 'supported'. 'Personally' comes from the Latin 'persona', meaning 'mask, character', and 'supported' from the Latin 'supportare', meaning 'to carry' or 'to bring up'.
'personally' evolved from the Latin 'persona' through Old French 'personel', while 'supported' evolved from the Latin 'supportare' through Old French 'supporter'.
Initially, 'personally' meant 'in person' and 'supported' meant 'to carry'. Over time, 'personally-supported' evolved to mean 'backed or endorsed by an individual'.
