'sustainable-powered' originates from the combination of 'sustainable' and 'powered', where 'sustainable' comes from Latin 'sustinere', meaning 'to hold up', and 'powered' from Old French 'poeir', meaning 'to be able'.

'sustainable' evolved from the Latin 'sustinere' through Old French 'sustenir', and 'powered' from Old French 'poeir', eventually forming the modern English term 'sustainable-powered'.

Initially, 'sustainable' meant 'to hold up or support', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'capable of being maintained over the long term'.
