Etymology
'precisely-regulated' originates from the combination of 'precisely' and 'regulated'. 'Precisely' comes from Latin 'precisus', meaning 'cut off', and 'regulated' comes from Latin 'regula', meaning 'rule'.
'Precisely' evolved from the Latin 'precisus' through Old French 'precis', while 'regulated' evolved from Latin 'regula' through Middle English 'regulate'.
Initially, 'precisely' meant 'exactly' and 'regulated' meant 'controlled by rules'. The combined term 'precisely-regulated' maintains these meanings, emphasizing exact control.
