'diversely-evaluated' is a compound formed from 'diverse' and 'evaluate'. 'Diverse' ultimately originates from Latin 'diversus', meaning 'turned different', and 'evaluate' comes via Medieval Latin 'evaluare' (related to 'valere'), where 'valere' meant 'to be strong' or 'to have worth'.

'Diverse' came into English via Old French 'divers' from Latin 'diversus', while 'evaluate' entered English from French 'évaluer' and Medieval Latin 'evaluare' (from 'valere'). The modern hyphenated compound 'diversely-evaluated' is a recent descriptive formation in English combining an adverbial form of 'diverse' with the past participle of 'evaluate'.

Individually, 'diverse' originally meant 'turned in different directions' and 'evaluate' meant 'to determine value'; combined as 'diversely-evaluated', the phrase evolved to mean 'assessed in a variety of ways' and emphasizes multiple perspectives in judgment.
