'meticulously-arranged' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' combined with the English word 'arrange,' from Old French 'arangier,' meaning 'to set in a row.'

'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'arangier' became 'arrange' in modern English, leading to the compound adjective 'meticulously-arranged.'

Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful,' but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail,' which is reflected in the modern usage of 'meticulously-arranged.'
