Etymology
'perfectly-paired' is a modern English compound formed from 'perfectly' (from Latin 'perfectus', meaning 'completed, excellent') and 'paired' (from Latin 'par', meaning 'equal, mate').
'Perfectly' and 'paired' were combined in modern English to create the compound adjective 'perfectly-paired', especially in contexts like food, relationships, or objects.
Initially, 'pair' meant 'a set of two', but 'perfectly-paired' evolved to mean 'matched together in an ideal way'.
