Etymology
'predictably-altered' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'altered', where 'predictably' comes from 'predict', meaning 'to foresee', and 'altered' from 'alter', meaning 'to change'.
'predictably' evolved from the Latin word 'praedicere', and 'altered' from the Latin 'alterare'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be predicted', and 'altered' meant 'changed'. The combined form retains these meanings.
