'methodically-chosen' originates from the combination of 'methodically' and 'chosen', where 'methodically' comes from 'method' meaning 'a systematic way of doing something', and 'chosen' is the past participle of 'choose', meaning 'to select'.

'methodically' evolved from the Latin word 'methodicus', and 'chosen' from the Old English 'ceosan'.

Initially, 'methodically' meant 'in a systematic way', and 'chosen' meant 'selected'. The combined form retains these meanings.
