Etymology
'locally-evaluated' originates from English compound elements: 'local' (from Latin 'locus') + suffix '-ly' and the verb 'evaluate' (from Medieval Latin 'evaluare' via Old French 'evaluer'), where 'locus' meant 'place' and the root behind 'evaluare' related to 'value' or 'worth'.
'local' came into English via Latin 'locus' → Old French/Medieval Latin forms → Middle English 'local'; 'evaluate' entered English from Medieval Latin 'evaluare' / Old French 'evaluer' and developed into modern English 'evaluate'; the compound 'locally-evaluated' is a modern English formation combining these elements.
Initially, 'local' meant 'of a place' and 'evaluate' meant 'to determine value'; combined in modern usage they came to mean 'to determine or assess value/behavior at a local place or environment' (i.e., assessed on-site or on-device).
