Etymology
'correctly-performed' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'performed', where 'correctly' is derived from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right', and 'performed' from the Old French 'parformer', meaning 'to carry out'.
'correctly' evolved from the Latin 'correctus' through Middle English 'correct', and 'performed' from Old French 'parformer' to Middle English 'performen'.
Initially, 'correctly' meant 'set right', and 'performed' meant 'to carry out'. Together, they evolved to mean 'executed accurately'.
