deliberate execution
Etymology
'purposefully' originates from 'purpose,' which comes from Old French 'purposer,' meaning 'to intend,' and 'implement' comes from Latin 'implēre,' meaning 'to fill up.'
'purposefully' evolved from Middle English 'purpos,' and 'implement' evolved from Latin 'implēmentum,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'implement.'
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with a purpose,' and 'implement' meant 'to fill up,' but over time, they evolved into their current meanings of 'with intention' and 'to execute or carry out.'
