customarily arranged
Etymology
'traditionally' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'traditionem,' where 'traditio' meant 'a giving up, delivering up.' 'Set' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'settan,' where 'settan' meant 'to cause to sit, put in some place.'
'traditionem' transformed into the Old French word 'tradicion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'tradition.' 'Settan' evolved into the Middle English word 'setten,' and eventually became the modern English word 'set.'
Initially, 'traditionem' meant 'a giving up, delivering up,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'customs or beliefs passed down.' 'Settan' initially meant 'to cause to sit,' but evolved to mean 'to arrange or establish.'
