Etymology
'traditionally-whole' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'whole', where 'traditionally' comes from Latin 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, delivery', and 'whole' from Old English 'hāl', meaning 'entire, unhurt'.
'traditionally-whole' combines the adverb 'traditionally' and the adjective 'whole' to form a compound adjective.
Initially, it meant 'entire in a traditional manner', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
