/prɪˈsaɪsli ˈdiːteɪld/
exactly described
Etymology
'precisely-detailed' originates from the combination of 'precisely' and 'detailed', where 'precisely' comes from Latin 'precisus', meaning 'cut off, brief', and 'detailed' from Old French 'detail', meaning 'small piece'.
'precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Old French 'precis', and 'detailed' from Old French 'detail', eventually forming the modern English compound 'precisely-detailed'.
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off, brief', and 'detailed' meant 'small piece', but together they evolved to mean 'described with exactness'.
