Etymology
'precisely-crafted' originates from the combination of 'precisely' and 'crafted', where 'precisely' comes from Latin 'precisus', meaning 'cut off', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræft', meaning 'skill or art'.
'precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Old French 'precis', and 'crafted' from Old English 'cræft', eventually forming the modern English term 'precisely-crafted'.
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off' and 'crafted' meant 'skill or art', but over time, they combined to mean 'made with great attention to detail'.
