Etymology
'realistically-altered' originates from the combination of 'realistic' and 'altered'. 'Realistic' comes from the Latin word 'realisticus', meaning 'pertaining to reality', and 'altered' comes from the Latin word 'alterare', meaning 'to change'.
'realistic' changed from the Latin word 'realisticus' and 'altered' from 'alterare', eventually combining to form the modern English term 'realistically-altered'.
Initially, 'realistic' meant 'pertaining to reality', and 'altered' meant 'to change'. Together, they evolved to mean 'modified in a way that is true to life'.
