precisely aimed
Etymology
'accurately-targeted' originates from the combination of 'accurate' and 'target,' where 'accurate' comes from Latin 'accuratus,' meaning 'done with care,' and 'target' from Old French 'targette,' meaning 'small shield.'
'accurate' evolved from the Latin 'accuratus' through Middle English, while 'target' transformed from Old French 'targette' to the modern English 'target.'
Initially, 'accurate' meant 'done with care,' and 'target' referred to a 'small shield,' but together they evolved to mean 'precisely aimed.'
