Etymology
'strictly-formed' originates from the combination of 'strictly' and 'formed', where 'strictly' is derived from the Latin 'strictus', meaning 'tight' or 'drawn together', and 'formed' from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'strictly' changed from the Latin 'strictus' to the Old French 'estrict', and eventually became the modern English word 'strictly'. 'Formed' evolved from the Latin 'formare' to the Old French 'former', and eventually became the modern English word 'formed'.
Initially, 'strictly' meant 'tightly' or 'rigidly', and 'formed' meant 'shaped'. Together, they convey the idea of being constructed with precision and adherence to rules.
