regional comparison
Etymology
'regionally-contrasted' originates from the combination of 'regional' and 'contrast,' where 'regional' refers to a specific area or region, and 'contrast' means to compare in order to show differences.
'Regionally' and 'contrasted' have been used separately in English since the 15th century, but their combination into 'regionally-contrasted' is a more modern usage.
Initially, 'contrast' meant 'to set against,' but over time it evolved to mean 'to compare in order to show differences.'
