Etymology
'meticulously-controlled' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' combined with 'control,' from the Latin 'contrarotulare,' meaning 'to check against a list.'
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'contrarotulare' evolved into 'control,' eventually forming the modern English term 'meticulously-controlled.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful,' but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail,' which is combined with 'control' to form the current meaning of 'managed with precision.'
