|tra-di-tion-al-ly-sent|
/trəˈdɪʃənəli-sɛnt/
customarily conveyed
Etymology
'traditionally-sent' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'sent', where 'traditionally' is derived from the Latin word 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, delivery', and 'sent' is the past participle of 'send', from Old English 'sendan'.
'traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'sent' from Old English 'sendan', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'traditionally-sent'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over', and 'sent' meant 'to cause to go', but together they evolved to mean 'conveyed in a customary manner'.
