systematic decision-making
Etymology
'methodically-determined' originates from the combination of 'methodically' and 'determined'. 'Methodically' comes from 'method', which originates from Greek 'methodos', meaning 'pursuit of knowledge'. 'Determined' comes from Latin 'determinare', meaning 'to set bounds'.
'methodically' evolved from the Greek 'methodos' through Latin and Old French, while 'determined' evolved from Latin 'determinare' through Old French 'determiner'.
Initially, 'methodically' meant 'in a systematic way', and 'determined' meant 'set boundaries'. Together, they evolved to mean 'systematically decided'.
