Etymology
'predictably-completed' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'completed'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to say beforehand'. 'Completed' comes from Latin 'completus', meaning 'filled up'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'completed' evolved from Latin 'completus' through Old French 'completer'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be predicted', and 'completed' meant 'finished'. The combined term retains these meanings.
