Etymology
'strongly-formed' originates from the combination of 'strongly' and 'formed', where 'strongly' is derived from 'strong', meaning 'having great physical power', and 'formed' from 'form', meaning 'to shape or create'.
'strongly' evolved from Old English 'strang', and 'formed' from Latin 'formare', eventually becoming the modern English word 'strongly-formed'.
Initially, 'strongly-formed' meant 'having a strong shape', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
