Etymology
'uniquely-displayed' originates from the combination of 'unique' and 'display', where 'unique' comes from Latin 'unicus' meaning 'only one' and 'display' from Old French 'despleier' meaning 'to unfold'.
'uniquely-displayed' evolved from the combination of 'unique' and 'display', which were used separately in Middle English and eventually combined in modern English to describe something shown in a distinctive manner.
Initially, 'unique' meant 'one of a kind' and 'display' meant 'to unfold or show'. Over time, 'uniquely-displayed' came to mean 'shown in a distinctively different way'.
