'expertly-carried' originates from the combination of 'expertly' and 'carried', where 'expertly' is derived from 'expert', meaning 'skilled', and 'carried' is the past participle of 'carry', meaning 'to support or move'.

'expertly' evolved from the Latin word 'expertus', and 'carried' from the Old English 'carian', eventually forming the modern English term 'expertly-carried'.

Initially, 'expertly' meant 'with skill', and 'carried' meant 'to move or support', which together evolved to mean 'performed with skill'.
