Etymology

The word 'previously' comes from the Latin word 'praevius' which means 'going before'. The word 'stated' comes from the Latin word 'stare' which means 'to stand'. The combination of 'previously' and 'stated' originated in the English language to convey the idea of something that has been mentioned before.
