'oddly-situated' originates from the combination of 'oddly,' meaning 'strangely or unusually,' and 'situated,' meaning 'located or positioned.'

'Oddly' comes from the Old Norse word 'oddi,' meaning 'point or triangle,' and 'situated' comes from the Latin word 'situare,' meaning 'to place or position.'

Initially, 'oddly' meant 'pointed or triangular,' but over time it evolved to mean 'strangely or unusually.' 'Situated' has largely retained its original meaning of 'placed or positioned.'
