Etymology
'correctly-delivered' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'delivered'. 'Correctly' comes from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right', and 'delivered' comes from the Latin 'deliberare', meaning 'to set free'.
'Correctly-delivered' evolved from the Middle English 'correct' and 'deliver', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'correctly-delivered'.
Initially, 'correctly' meant 'in a right manner', and 'delivered' meant 'to set free'. Over time, 'correctly-delivered' evolved to mean 'accurately executed or performed'.
