Etymology
'artfully-designed' originates from the combination of 'artful' and 'design,' where 'artful' meant 'full of art or skill' and 'design' meant 'a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function of something.'
'artful' changed from the Old English word 'artfull' and 'design' from the Latin word 'designare,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'artfully-designed.'
Initially, 'artful' meant 'full of art or skill,' and 'design' meant 'a plan or drawing,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'created with skill and creativity.'
