foreseeably constructed
Etymology
'predictably-assembled' originates from the words 'predict' and 'assemble'. 'Predict' comes from Latin 'praedicere', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'dicere' meant 'to say'. 'Assemble' comes from Latin 'assimillare', where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'simillare' meant 'make similar'.
'predictably' evolved from 'predict' by adding the suffix '-ably', and 'assembled' is the past participle form of 'assemble'.
Initially, 'predict' meant 'to say before', and 'assemble' meant 'to make similar'. Over time, 'predictably-assembled' evolved to mean 'constructed in a foreseeable manner'.
