'precisely-returned' is a compound word formed from 'precisely' and 'returned'. 'Precisely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'praecisus', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'caedere' meant 'to cut'. 'Returned' comes from Old French 'retourner', where 're-' meant 'back' and 'tourner' meant 'to turn'.

'Precisely' evolved from the Latin 'praecisus' through Old French 'precis', and 'returned' evolved from Old French 'retourner'.

Initially, 'precisely' meant 'cut off' or 'exact', and 'returned' meant 'to turn back'. Over time, they combined to mean 'accurately given back'.
