Etymology
'expectedly-ended' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'ended', where 'expectedly' is derived from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'ended' from Old English 'endian', meaning 'to bring to a close'.
'expectedly-ended' combines the adverb 'expectedly' and the past participle 'ended', forming a compound adjective used in modern English.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that was anticipated', and 'ended' meant 'brought to a close'. Together, they describe a conclusion that was foreseen.
