Etymology
'methodically-ordered' originates from the combination of 'methodical' and 'ordered', where 'methodical' comes from the Greek word 'methodikos', meaning 'systematic', and 'ordered' from the Latin 'ordinare', meaning 'to arrange'.
'methodical' changed from the Greek word 'methodikos' to the English 'methodical', and 'ordered' from the Latin 'ordinare' to the English 'ordered', eventually forming the compound adjective 'methodically-ordered'.
Initially, 'methodical' meant 'systematic', and 'ordered' meant 'arranged'. Together, they evolved to describe something arranged in a systematic manner.
