'methodically-selected' originates from the combination of 'methodically' and 'selected'. 'Methodically' comes from the Greek word 'methodikos', where 'method' meant 'a way of doing something'. 'Selected' comes from the Latin word 'selectus', where 'se-' meant 'apart' and 'lectus' meant 'chosen'.

'methodically' changed from the Greek word 'methodikos' to the modern English word 'methodical', and eventually became 'methodically'. 'Selected' transformed from the Latin word 'selectus' to the modern English word 'select'.

Initially, 'methodically' meant 'in a systematic way', and 'selected' meant 'chosen'. Over time, the combination 'methodically-selected' evolved to mean 'chosen in a systematic and organized manner'.
