Etymology
'accurately-adjusted' is a compound word formed from 'accurate' and 'adjusted'. 'Accurate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accuratus', where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'cura' meant 'care'. 'Adjusted' comes from the Latin 'adjuxtare', meaning 'to bring near'.
'Accurate' evolved from the Latin 'accuratus' through Middle English, while 'adjusted' transformed from the Old French 'ajuster'.
Initially, 'accurate' meant 'done with care', and 'adjusted' meant 'brought near'. Over time, they evolved to mean 'precisely correct' and 'modified to fit', respectively.
