Etymology
'purposefully-segmented' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'segmented'. 'Purposefully' comes from 'purpose', which originates from Latin 'propositum', meaning 'intention'. 'Segmented' comes from Latin 'segmentum', meaning 'a piece cut off'.
'Purposefully' evolved from Middle English 'purpos', while 'segmented' evolved from Latin 'segmentum'.
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with intention', and 'segmented' meant 'divided into parts'. The combined term retains these meanings.
