vividly-shaped
|viv-id-ly-shaped|
/ˈvɪvɪdli ʃeɪpt/
distinctly formed
Etymology
'vividly-shaped' originates from the English word 'vividly,' which comes from the Latin word 'vividus,' meaning 'lively,' and 'shaped,' which is derived from the Old English 'sceapian,' meaning 'to create or form.'
'vividly' evolved from the Latin 'vividus' through Middle English, while 'shaped' transformed from the Old English 'sceapian' to the modern English 'shape.'
Initially, 'vividly' meant 'lively or full of life,' and 'shaped' meant 'to form or create.' Together, they convey the idea of something formed in a lively and distinct manner.
