'correctly-measured' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'measured', where 'correctly' means 'in a correct manner' and 'measured' means 'ascertained the size, amount, or degree of something'.

'correctly' and 'measured' have been used in English since the late Middle Ages, and their combination into 'correctly-measured' is a modern construct to describe precision in measurement.

Initially, 'correctly' and 'measured' were used separately to denote accuracy and quantification, respectively. Their combination emphasizes precision in measurement.
