'purposefully-examined' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'examined', where 'purposefully' is derived from 'purpose' meaning 'intention' and 'examined' from 'examine' meaning 'to inspect'.

'purposefully' evolved from the Old French word 'purpos', and 'examined' from the Latin word 'examinare'.

Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with intention', and 'examined' meant 'to inspect', which has remained consistent in modern usage.
