'meticulously' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'meticulosus,' where 'metus' meant 'fear.' 'Change' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'changier,' where 'cambiare' meant 'to exchange.'

'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'changier' transformed into the English word 'change.'

Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'full of fear,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'showing great attention to detail.'
