Etymology
The term 'carefully-corrected' is a compound adjective formed by combining 'carefully' and 'corrected'. 'Carefully' originates from the Old English 'carful', meaning 'full of care', and 'corrected' comes from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right'.
'Carefully' evolved from the Old English 'carful', while 'corrected' transformed from the Latin 'correctus' through Middle English 'correcten'.
Initially, 'carefully' meant 'full of care', and 'corrected' meant 'set right'. Together, they now imply meticulous revision.
