Etymology
'precisely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'praecisus,' where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'caedere' meant 'to cut.' 'Corrected' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'correctus,' where 'cor-' meant 'together' and 'regere' meant 'to guide or rule.'
'precisely' changed from the Old French word 'precis' and eventually became the modern English word 'precisely.' 'Corrected' transformed from the Old French word 'correcter' and eventually became the modern English word 'corrected.'
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off or shortened,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'exactly.' 'Corrected' initially meant 'to set right,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
