Etymology
'skillfully-crafted' originates from the combination of 'skillful' and 'craft,' where 'skillful' means 'having or showing skill' and 'craft' refers to 'an activity involving skill in making things by hand.'
'skillful' changed from the Old English word 'sceleful,' and 'craft' from the Old English 'cræft,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'skillfully-crafted.'
Initially, 'skillful' meant 'full of skill,' and 'craft' meant 'strength or power,' but over time, they evolved to mean 'having skill' and 'making things by hand,' respectively.
