Etymology
'correctly-stated' originates from the combination of 'correctly' and 'stated', where 'correctly' comes from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right', and 'stated' from the Latin 'status', meaning 'position'.
'correctly-stated' evolved from the Middle English 'correcten' and 'staten', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'correctly-stated'.
Initially, it meant 'expressed in a correct manner', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
