Etymology
'steadily-formed' originates from the combination of 'steady' and 'formed', where 'steady' means 'firmly fixed' and 'formed' means 'shaped or created'.
'steadily' changed from the Old English word 'stede' meaning 'place' and 'formed' from the Latin 'formare', eventually becoming the modern English word 'formed'.
Initially, 'steady' meant 'firmly fixed in place', and 'formed' meant 'shaped or created', evolving into the current meaning of 'consistently developed'.
