Etymology
'securely-packaged' originates from the combination of 'securely' and 'packaged'. 'Securely' comes from the Latin word 'securus', meaning 'free from care', and 'packaged' is derived from 'package', which comes from the Middle English 'pakke', meaning 'bundle'.
'securely' evolved from the Latin 'securus' through Old French 'secur', and 'packaged' evolved from Middle English 'pakke', eventually forming the modern English term 'securely-packaged'.
Initially, 'securely' meant 'free from care', and 'packaged' meant 'bundle'. Over time, 'securely-packaged' evolved to mean 'packed in a manner that ensures safety'.
