'sensitively-dealt' originates from the combination of 'sensitive' and 'deal', where 'sensitive' meant 'having perception through the senses' and 'deal' meant 'to handle or manage'.

'sensitive' changed from the Latin word 'sensitivus' and 'deal' from the Old English 'dǣlan', eventually forming the modern English phrase 'sensitively-dealt'.

Initially, 'sensitive' meant 'perceptive', and 'deal' meant 'to distribute', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'handled with care'.
