Etymology
'voluntarily-made' originates from the combination of 'voluntarily' and 'made'. 'Voluntarily' comes from the Latin word 'voluntarius', meaning 'of one's free will', and 'made' is the past participle of 'make', from Old English 'macian'.
'Voluntarily' evolved from the Latin 'voluntarius' through Old French 'voluntaire', while 'made' comes from Old English 'macian'.
Initially, 'voluntarily' meant 'of one's free will', and 'made' meant 'created'. Together, they convey the idea of something created by one's own choice.
