Historical Evolution

'traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'shown' evolved from Old English 'sceawian' to Middle English 'schowen', eventually becoming the modern English 'shown'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over customs', and 'shown' meant 'to look at'. Over time, 'traditionally-shown' evolved to mean 'displayed according to long-established customs'.
