'meticulously-repaired' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' combined with the English word 'repair,' from the Old French 'reparer,' meaning 'to mend.'

'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'reparer' became 'repair' in English, eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-repaired.'

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-repaired.'
