The word "custom-made" combines "custom," derived from Old French coustume (meaning "habit" or "tradition"), with "made," the past participle of "make" (from Old English macian). Originally, "custom" referred to habitual practices, but by the 18th century, it evolved to denote goods produced to a buyer's specifications. The compound "custom-made" emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing individualized creation, distinct from mass-produced items. The logic reflects a shift from general tradition to personalized craftsmanship.
