Etymology
'correctly-distributed' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'distributed'. 'Correctly' comes from Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right', and 'distributed' comes from Latin 'distribuere', meaning 'to divide'.
'Correctly-distributed' evolved from the combination of 'correctly' and 'distributed', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'correctly' meant 'in a right manner' and 'distributed' meant 'divided'. Together, they evolved to mean 'appropriately spread out'.
