Etymology
'specifically-provided' originates from the combination of 'specifically' and 'provided', where 'specifically' is derived from Latin 'specificus', meaning 'pertaining to a species', and 'provided' is from Latin 'providere', meaning 'to foresee'.
'specifically' evolved from the Latin 'specificus' through Old French 'specifique', and 'provided' evolved from Latin 'providere' through Old French 'proveer'.
Initially, 'specifically' meant 'pertaining to a species', and 'provided' meant 'to foresee'. Over time, they combined to mean 'given in a detailed manner'.
