Etymology
'meticulously-resolved' originates from the combination of 'meticulous' and 'resolved'. 'Meticulous' comes from Latin 'meticulosus', meaning 'fearful', and 'resolved' comes from Latin 'resolvere', meaning 'to loosen or release'.
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous', and 'resolvere' transformed into the English word 'resolve', eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-resolved'.
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful', but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail'. 'Resolved' maintained its meaning of 'determined' or 'settled'.
