Etymology
'expectedly-formed' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'formed', where 'expectedly' is derived from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'formed' from the Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'expectedly' evolved from the Latin 'expectare' through Old French 'expecter', and 'formed' from Latin 'formare' through Old French 'former'.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that is looked out for', and 'formed' meant 'shaped'. Together, they convey the idea of being shaped in a predictable manner.
