detailed provision
Etymology
'specifically-supplied' originates from the combination of 'specifically' and 'supplied', where 'specifically' is derived from Latin 'specificus', meaning 'pertaining to a species', and 'supplied' is from Latin 'supplere', meaning 'to fill up'.
'specifically' evolved from the Latin 'specificus' through Old French 'specifique', and 'supplied' from Latin 'supplere' through Old French 'souplir'.
Initially, 'specifically' meant 'pertaining to a species', but over time it evolved to mean 'in a detailed manner'. 'Supplied' has largely retained its meaning of 'to provide or furnish'.
