Etymology
'correctly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'correctus,' where 'cor-' meant 'together' and 'rectus' meant 'straight.' 'Install' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'installare,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'stallare' meant 'to place.'
'correctus' transformed into the Old French word 'correct,' and eventually became the modern English word 'correct.' 'Installare' transformed into the Old French word 'installer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'install.'
Initially, 'correctly' meant 'in a straight manner,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'free from errors.' 'Install' initially meant 'to place into position,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
