Etymology
'meticulously-executed' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'meticulosus,' where 'metus' meant 'fear' and 'execute' from 'executus,' meaning 'to carry out.'
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'executus' became 'execute,' eventually forming the modern English phrase 'meticulously-executed.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful or timid,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'showing great attention to detail.'
