'amicably-arranged' originates from the Latin word 'amicabilis,' meaning 'friendly,' and the Old French word 'arranger,' meaning 'to arrange.'

'Amicabilis' transformed into the Middle English word 'amycable,' and 'arranger' became 'arrange' in modern English, leading to the compound 'amicably-arranged.'

Initially, it meant 'arranged in a friendly manner,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
