Etymology
'gradually-corrected' originates from the combination of 'gradually' and 'corrected'. 'Gradually' comes from the Latin word 'gradualis', meaning 'step by step', and 'corrected' comes from the Latin 'correctus', meaning 'set right'.
'Gradually' evolved from the Latin 'gradualis' through Old French 'graduel', while 'corrected' evolved from Latin 'correctus' through Old French 'correcter'.
Initially, 'gradually' meant 'step by step', and 'corrected' meant 'set right'. The combined term 'gradually-corrected' retains these meanings, emphasizing a slow and steady improvement.
