Etymology
'proactively-designed' originates from the combination of 'proactive' and 'design,' where 'proactive' comes from Latin 'pro-' meaning 'forward' and 'active' from 'actīvus' meaning 'active.'
'Proactive' evolved from the Latin 'proactivus,' and 'design' from the Latin 'designare,' eventually forming the modern English term 'proactively-designed.'
Initially, 'proactive' meant 'acting in anticipation,' and 'design' meant 'to mark out,' evolving into the current meaning of 'creating with foresight.'
