'meticulously-verified' originates from the combination of 'meticulous' and 'verify'. 'Meticulous' comes from Latin 'meticulosus', meaning 'fearful', and 'verify' comes from Latin 'verificare', meaning 'to make true'.

'meticulosus' transformed into the English word 'meticulous', and 'verificare' became 'verify' in English, eventually forming the compound adjective 'meticulously-verified'.

Initially, 'meticulous' meant 'fearful', but over time it evolved to mean 'showing great attention to detail'. 'Verify' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to make true'.
