Etymology
'vividly-crafted' is a compound word formed from 'vividly' and 'crafted.' 'Vividly' comes from 'vivid,' which originates from Latin 'vividus' meaning 'full of life,' and 'crafted' is the past participle of 'craft,' from Old English 'cræft' meaning 'strength, skill.'
'vividly' developed from 'vivid' (Latin 'vividus') and the adverbial suffix '-ly.' 'Crafted' is the past participle of 'craft,' which evolved from Old English 'cræft.' The compound 'vividly-crafted' is a modern English formation.
Initially, 'vividly' meant 'in a lively or bright manner,' and 'crafted' meant 'made with skill.' Together, 'vividly-crafted' evolved to mean 'created in a strikingly clear and detailed way.'
