Etymology
'proactively-formed' originates from the combination of 'proactive' and 'formed'. 'Proactive' comes from the Latin prefix 'pro-' meaning 'forward' and 'active' from 'actīvus', meaning 'active'. 'Formed' is derived from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'Proactive' evolved from the Latin 'proactivus', and 'formed' from 'formare', eventually combining in modern English to create 'proactively-formed'.
Initially, 'proactive' meant 'acting in anticipation', and 'formed' meant 'shaped'. Together, they evolved to mean 'created in anticipation'.
