Etymology
'securely-formed' originates from the combination of 'securely' and 'formed', where 'securely' means 'in a safe manner' and 'formed' means 'shaped or constructed'.
'Securely' comes from the Latin word 'securus', meaning 'free from care', and 'formed' comes from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
Initially, 'securely' meant 'without care or concern', but over time it evolved to mean 'safely'. 'Formed' has largely retained its meaning of 'shaped or constructed'.
