Etymology
'purposefully-guided' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'guided', where 'purposefully' is derived from 'purpose' meaning 'intention' and 'guided' from 'guide' meaning 'to lead or direct'.
'purposefully' evolved from the Middle English 'purpos', and 'guided' from the Old French 'guider', eventually forming the modern English term 'purposefully-guided'.
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with a purpose', and 'guided' meant 'led or directed'. Together, they convey the idea of being directed with intention.
