exactly connected
Etymology
'precisely-linked' originates from the English word 'precise,' which comes from the Latin word 'precisus,' meaning 'cut off' or 'exact,' and 'link,' from the Old English 'hlencan,' meaning 'to connect.'
'precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Middle English 'precisen,' and 'link' from Old English 'hlencan' to the modern English 'link.'
Initially, 'precise' meant 'cut off' or 'exact,' and 'link' meant 'to connect.' Over time, 'precisely-linked' evolved to mean 'connected with exactness.'
