Etymology
'meticulously-managed' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful,' and the Old French word 'managier,' meaning 'to handle or control.'
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'managier' evolved into 'manage,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-managed.'
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-managed.'
