'fairly-distributed' originates from the combination of 'fairly' and 'distributed', where 'fairly' means 'in a fair manner' and 'distributed' means 'spread out or allocated'.

'fairly-distributed' evolved from the Middle English word 'faire' meaning 'beautiful or pleasing' and the Latin word 'distribuere' meaning 'to divide or allocate'.

Initially, it meant 'allocated in a pleasing manner', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'evenly or justly allocated'.
