passed down through tradition
Etymology
'traditionally-carried' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'carried', where 'traditionally' comes from Latin 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over', and 'carried' from Old French 'carier', meaning 'to transport'.
'traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'carried' from Old French 'carier', eventually forming the modern English compound 'traditionally-carried'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over' and 'carried' meant 'to transport', but together they evolved to mean 'passed down through tradition'.
