Etymology
'precisely-positioned' originates from the combination of 'precisely' and 'positioned'. 'Precisely' comes from Latin 'precisus', meaning 'cut off', and 'positioned' from Latin 'positio', meaning 'placement'.
'Precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Old French 'precis', and 'positioned' from Latin 'positio' through Middle English 'posicioun'.
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off' or 'exact', and 'positioned' meant 'placement'. Over time, they combined to mean 'accurately placed'.
