'methodically-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'methodically' and 'adjusted'. 'Methodically' comes from the Greek word 'methodikos', meaning 'systematic', and 'adjusted' comes from the Latin word 'adjuxtare', meaning 'to bring into proper position'.

'methodically' evolved from the Greek 'methodikos' through Latin 'methodicus', and 'adjusted' evolved from Latin 'adjuxtare' through Old French 'ajuster'.

Initially, 'methodically' meant 'systematic', and 'adjusted' meant 'to bring into proper position'. Together, they convey the idea of making systematic changes.
