Origin of the word exquisitely

"Exquisitely" traces back to the Latin word "exquisitus," meaning "sought out" or "refined." It entered English in the 14th century, initially meaning "carefully chosen" or "selected." Over time, the meaning shifted to emphasize the quality of something chosen, leading to its current usage to describe something extremely beautiful, delicate, or perfect. The "ex-" prefix emphasizes the thoroughness of the selection, hinting at the exceptional nature of the thing being described.
