'correctly-placed' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'placed', where 'correctly' is derived from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right', and 'placed' from the Old French 'placer', meaning 'to put or set'.

'correctly' evolved from the Latin 'correctus' through Old French 'correct', and 'placed' from Old French 'placer', eventually forming the modern English term 'correctly-placed'.

Initially, 'correctly' meant 'set right', and 'placed' meant 'to put or set', which together evolved to mean 'positioned in the right location'.
