rationally-shaped
|ra-tion-al-ly-shaped|
/ˈræʃənəli ʃeɪpt/
logically formed
Etymology
'rationally-shaped' originates from the combination of 'rationally' and 'shaped', where 'rationally' is derived from 'rational', meaning 'based on reason', and 'shaped' from 'shape', meaning 'form or structure'.
'rationally' evolved from the Latin word 'rationalis', and 'shaped' from the Old English 'sceapian', eventually forming the modern English term 'rationally-shaped'.
Initially, 'rationally' meant 'in a reasonable manner', and 'shaped' meant 'formed', which together evolved to describe something formed in a logical manner.
