Etymology
'systematically-enforced' originates from the combination of 'systematic' and 'enforced', where 'systematic' comes from the Greek 'sustēmatikos', meaning 'pertaining to a system', and 'enforced' from the Latin 'inforcere', meaning 'to strengthen'.
'Systematic' evolved from the Greek 'sustēmatikos' through Latin and Old French, while 'enforced' evolved from the Latin 'inforcere' through Old French 'enforcier'.
Initially, 'systematic' meant 'pertaining to a system', and 'enforced' meant 'to strengthen'. Over time, 'systematically-enforced' evolved to mean 'implemented in a methodical manner'.
