Etymology
'precisely-determined' originates from the combination of 'precisely' and 'determined'. 'Precisely' comes from Latin 'precisus', meaning 'cut off, brief', and 'determined' comes from Latin 'determinare', meaning 'to enclose, bound, set limits to'.
'Precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Old French 'precis', and 'determined' evolved from Latin 'determinare' through Old French 'determiner'.
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off, brief', and 'determined' meant 'to enclose, bound'. Over time, they evolved to mean 'exactly' and 'fixed', respectively.
