passed down by tradition
Etymology
'traditionally-transmitted' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'transmitted'. 'Traditionally' comes from the Latin word 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, delivery', and 'transmitted' comes from the Latin 'transmittere', meaning 'to send across'.
'Traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'transmitted' evolved from Latin 'transmittere' through Old French 'transmettre'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over' and 'transmitted' meant 'to send across'. Over time, they combined to describe something passed down through generations.
