Etymology
'tangibly-stored' originates from the combination of 'tangible' and 'store', where 'tangible' comes from Latin 'tangibilis', meaning 'that may be touched', and 'store' from Old English 'stōr', meaning 'a place for keeping goods'.
'tangible' evolved from Latin 'tangibilis' through Old French 'tangible', and 'store' from Old English 'stōr', eventually forming the modern English compound 'tangibly-stored'.
Initially, 'tangible' meant 'that may be touched', and 'store' meant 'a place for keeping goods'. Together, they evolved to mean 'physically kept in a way that can be perceived by touch'.
