'expectedly-altered' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'altered'. 'Expectedly' comes from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'altered' from the Latin 'alterare', meaning 'to change'.

'expectedly' and 'altered' were combined in modern English to form the compound adjective 'expectedly-altered'.

Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that was anticipated', and 'altered' meant 'changed'. Together, they convey the idea of a change that was anticipated.
