Etymology
'expectedly-abbreviated' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'abbreviated', where 'expectedly' is derived from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'abbreviated' from the Latin 'abbreviare', meaning 'to shorten'.
'expectedly-abbreviated' combines the adverb 'expectedly' and the adjective 'abbreviated', both of which have Latin roots and have been used in English since the Middle Ages.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'as anticipated', and 'abbreviated' meant 'shortened'. The combined form retains these meanings.
