The term 'correctly-positioned' is a compound adjective formed by combining 'correctly,' an adverb meaning 'in a correct manner,' and 'positioned,' the past participle of 'position,' meaning 'to place or arrange.'
The word 'position' comes from the Latin 'positio,' meaning 'a placing,' and 'correctly' derives from the Latin 'correctus,' meaning 'set right.'
Initially, 'position' referred to the act of placing something, while 'correctly' meant 'in a right manner.' Together, they evolved to describe something placed accurately.
