'modernly-placed' originates from the combination of 'modernly,' an adverb form of 'modern,' and 'placed,' the past participle of 'place.'

The term 'modernly' evolved from the adjective 'modern,' which comes from the Latin 'modernus,' meaning 'of today.' 'Placed' comes from the Old French 'placer,' meaning 'to place or arrange.'

Initially, 'modernly' referred to anything related to the present or recent times, while 'placed' meant to position something. Together, they convey the idea of being positioned in a contemporary manner.
