preserved by tradition
Etymology
'traditionally-maintained' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'maintained'. 'Traditionally' comes from the Latin word 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, passing on'. 'Maintained' comes from the Latin 'manutenere', meaning 'to hold in the hand'.
'Traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'maintained' evolved from the Latin 'manutenere' through Old French 'maintenir'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over customs', and 'maintained' meant 'to hold or keep'. Over time, they combined to describe something preserved in a traditional manner.
