Etymology Information

'traditionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'traditionem,' where 'traditio' meant 'a handing over, delivery.' 'Designed' comes from Latin 'designare,' meaning 'to mark out, devise, choose.'

Historical Evolution

'Traditionem' transformed into the Old French word 'tradicion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'tradition.' 'Designare' evolved into the Italian 'disegnare,' and then into the English 'design.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'tradition' meant 'a handing over,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'customs or beliefs passed down.' 'Design' originally meant 'to mark out,' but now refers to the process of creating or planning something.
