Etymology
'meticulously' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'meticulosus,' where 'metus' meant 'fear.' 'Evaluate' originates from French, specifically the word 'évaluer,' where 'é-' meant 'out' and 'valuer' meant 'value.'
'Meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'évaluer' transformed into the English word 'evaluate,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-evaluated.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'full of fear,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'showing great attention to detail.' 'Evaluate' has largely retained its original meaning of 'assessing value.'
