Etymology
'foreseeably-located' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'located'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', where 'fore-' meant 'before' and 'seon' meant 'to see'. 'Located' comes from Latin 'locatus', the past participle of 'locare', meaning 'to place'.
'Foreseeably' changed from the Old English 'foreseon' to the modern English 'foresee', and 'located' evolved from the Latin 'locatus' to the modern English 'located'.
Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'located' meant 'to place'. Over time, 'foreseeably-located' evolved to mean 'in a position that can be predicted'.
