Etymology
'secretly-declared' originates from the combination of 'secretly' and 'declare', where 'secretly' means 'in a secret manner' and 'declare' means 'to announce or state'.
'secretly' comes from the Latin word 'secretus', and 'declare' comes from the Latin word 'declarare', which means 'to make clear'.
Initially, 'declare' meant 'to make clear', but in combination with 'secretly', it evolved to mean 'to announce in a hidden manner'.
