Etymology
'meticulously-organized' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' where 'metus' meant 'fear,' and 'organized' from the Greek 'organon,' meaning 'tool or instrument.'
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'organon' evolved into 'organize,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-organized.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful or timid,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'showing great attention to detail.'
