'expectedly-recognized' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'recognized', where 'expectedly' is derived from 'expect' meaning 'to look forward to' and 'recognized' from 'recognize' meaning 'to identify or acknowledge'.

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

Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that was anticipated', and 'recognized' meant 'acknowledged or identified'. The compound retains these meanings.
