'zealously-returned' originates from the English word 'zealous,' which comes from the Greek word 'zelos,' meaning 'ardor' or 'fervor,' combined with 'return,' from the Latin 'retornare,' meaning 'to turn back.'

'zealous' evolved from the Greek 'zelos' to the Latin 'zelus,' and eventually became the English 'zealous.' 'Return' evolved from the Latin 'retornare' to the Old French 'retourner,' and eventually became the modern English 'return.'

Initially, 'zealous' meant 'ardor' or 'fervor,' and 'return' meant 'to turn back.' The combined term 'zealously-returned' retains the original meanings, emphasizing a passionate return.
