'fairly-judged' originates from the combination of 'fairly,' meaning 'in a fair manner,' and 'judged,' the past participle of 'judge,' meaning 'to form an opinion or conclusion about.'

'fairly' and 'judged' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, with 'fairly' deriving from Old English 'fægerlice' and 'judged' from Old French 'jugier.'

Initially, 'fairly' meant 'beautifully' or 'pleasantly,' but evolved to mean 'justly' or 'impartially.' 'Judged' has maintained its meaning of forming an opinion or conclusion.
