'purposefully-aimed' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'aimed', where 'purposefully' means 'with intention' and 'aimed' means 'directed towards a target'.

'purposefully' evolved from the word 'purpose', which comes from the Old French 'purposer', and 'aimed' comes from the Old French 'esmer', meaning 'to estimate or intend'.

Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with a purpose', and 'aimed' meant 'directed towards a target'. Together, they convey the idea of intentional targeting.
