Etymology
'sufficiently-separated' originates from the combination of 'sufficiently' and 'separated'. 'Sufficiently' comes from Latin 'sufficere', meaning 'to meet the need of', and 'separated' comes from Latin 'separatus', meaning 'to divide'.
'Sufficiently-separated' evolved from the combination of the words 'sufficiently' and 'separated', which have been used in English since the 15th century.
Initially, it meant 'adequately divided', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
