intentional execution
Etymology
'purposefully-executed' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'executed', where 'purposefully' is derived from 'purpose' meaning 'intention' and 'executed' from 'execute' meaning 'to carry out'.
'purposefully' evolved from the Middle English 'purpos', and 'executed' from the Latin 'executus', eventually forming the modern English term 'purposefully-executed'.
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with a purpose', and 'executed' meant 'carried out'. Together, they evolved to mean 'carried out with intention'.
