Etymology
'meticulously-revised' originates from the Latin word 'meticulosus,' meaning 'fearful' or 'timid,' combined with the English word 'revised,' from the Latin 'revisere,' meaning 'to look at again.'
'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous,' and 'revisere' became 'revise' in English, eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-revised.'
Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful,' but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail,' while 'revised' maintained its meaning of 'altered or improved.'
