Etymology
'expectedly-transformed' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'transformed', where 'expectedly' is derived from the Latin 'expectare', meaning 'to look out for', and 'transformed' from the Latin 'transformare', meaning 'to change in form'.
'expectedly-transformed' combines the adverb 'expectedly' and the past participle 'transformed', both of which have roots in Latin and have been used in English since the Middle Ages.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that was anticipated', and 'transformed' meant 'changed in form'. Together, they convey the idea of a change that was anticipated.
