/trəˈdɪʃənəli ˈɪnfluənst/
shaped by tradition
Etymology
'traditionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'traditionem,' where 'traditio' meant 'a handing over, delivery.' 'Influenced' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'influere,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'fluere' meant 'to flow.'
'Traditionem' transformed into the Old French word 'tradicion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'tradition.' 'Influere' transformed into the Old French word 'influencer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'influence.'
Initially, 'tradition' meant 'a handing over or delivery,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'customs or beliefs passed down.' 'Influence' initially meant 'to flow into,' but now means 'to have an effect on.'
