'evenly-judged' originates from the combination of 'evenly,' meaning 'in a balanced or equal manner,' and 'judged,' the past participle of 'judge,' meaning 'to form an opinion or conclusion about.'

'Evenly' and 'judged' have been used separately in English since the Middle Ages, but their combination into 'evenly-judged' is a more modern construct to describe fair assessment.

Initially, 'evenly' meant 'smoothly or uniformly,' and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion.' Together, they evolved to mean 'assessed in a fair manner.'
