Etymology
'compulsorily-recovered' originates from the combination of 'compulsorily' and 'recovered', where 'compulsorily' is derived from 'compulsory', meaning 'required by law or a rule', and 'recovered' from 'recover', meaning 'to regain possession'.
'compulsorily' evolved from the Latin word 'compulsorius', and 'recovered' from the Old French 'recovrer', eventually forming the modern English term 'compulsorily-recovered'.
Initially, 'compulsorily' meant 'by force or obligation', and 'recovered' meant 'to regain possession', which together evolved to mean 'recovered by force or legal obligation'.
