Etymology
'standardly-formed' originates from the English word 'standard,' which comes from the Old French 'estandart,' meaning 'a rallying place, a standard.' The suffix '-ly' is used to form adverbs, and 'formed' is derived from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape or mold.'
'standard' evolved from the Old French 'estandart' to the Middle English 'standarde,' eventually becoming the modern English 'standard.' The word 'formed' has remained relatively unchanged from its Latin roots.
Initially, 'standard' referred to a rallying point or flag, but over time it evolved to mean a level of quality or attainment. 'Formed' has consistently meant 'to shape or mold.'
