Etymology
'presently-shown' is a compound word formed from 'presently' and 'shown'. 'Presently' originates from Middle English 'presently', meaning 'at the present time', and 'shown' is the past participle of 'show', which comes from Old English 'scēawian', meaning 'to look at'.
'Presently' evolved from Middle English 'presently', and 'shown' from Old English 'scēawian', eventually forming the modern English compound 'presently-shown'.
Initially, 'presently' meant 'immediately', but over time it evolved to mean 'at the present time'. 'Shown' has largely retained its meaning of 'displayed or revealed'.
