Etymology
'traditionally-enforced' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'enforced'. 'Traditionally' comes from 'tradition', which originates from Latin 'traditio', meaning 'a handing over, delivery'. 'Enforced' comes from 'enforce', which originates from Old French 'enforcier', meaning 'to strengthen'.
'Traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditio' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'enforced' evolved from Old French 'enforcier'. The combination of these words into 'traditionally-enforced' is a modern English construct.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'in a manner of tradition', and 'enforced' meant 'to compel or ensure compliance'. Together, they convey the idea of enforcing something in a traditional manner.
