'expectedly-continued' is a compound word formed from 'expectedly' and 'continued'. 'Expectedly' originates from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'continued' comes from the Latin 'continuare', meaning 'to join together'.

'expectedly' evolved from the Old French 'expecter', and 'continued' from the Old French 'continuer'. The combination of these words into 'expectedly-continued' is a modern English formation.

Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that was anticipated', and 'continued' meant 'to persist'. The combined form retains these meanings.
