distinct by region
Etymology
'regionally-differentiated' originates from the combination of 'region' and 'differentiate,' where 'region' refers to a specific area and 'differentiate' means to distinguish or make different.
'Region' comes from Latin 'regio,' meaning 'direction, district,' and 'differentiate' comes from Latin 'differentiare,' meaning 'to make different.'
Initially, it meant 'to distinguish between regions,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having distinct characteristics by region.'
