deliberately organized
Etymology
'specifically-arranged' originates from the combination of 'specifically' and 'arranged', where 'specifically' is derived from Latin 'specificus', meaning 'pertaining to a species', and 'arranged' from Old French 'arangier', meaning 'to set in order'.
'specifically-arranged' changed from the Old French word 'arangier' and eventually became the modern English word 'arranged', combined with 'specifically' to form the compound adjective.
Initially, 'arranged' meant 'to set in order', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage when combined with 'specifically'.
