Etymology
'approximately-calculated' originates from the combination of 'approximately' and 'calculated', where 'approximately' comes from Latin 'approximatus', meaning 'near to', and 'calculated' from Latin 'calculatus', meaning 'reckoned'.
'approximatus' transformed into the English word 'approximate', and 'calculatus' became 'calculate', eventually forming the modern English term 'approximately-calculated'.
Initially, 'approximatus' meant 'near to', and 'calculatus' meant 'reckoned'. Over time, they combined to convey the idea of an estimation rather than exactness.
