'neatly-placed' originates from the combination of 'neatly' and 'placed', where 'neatly' is derived from 'neat', meaning 'tidy', and 'placed' is the past participle of 'place', meaning 'to put in a particular position'.

'neatly' evolved from Middle English 'net', meaning 'clean', and 'placed' from Old French 'placer', meaning 'to place'.

Initially, 'neatly' meant 'cleanly', and 'placed' meant 'put in position'. Over time, 'neatly-placed' evolved to mean 'arranged in a tidy manner'.
