Etymology
'predictably-confirmed' is a compound word formed from 'predictably' and 'confirmed'. 'Predictably' originates from the Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to foretell', and 'confirmed' comes from the Latin 'confirmare', meaning 'to strengthen or establish'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'confirmed' evolved from Latin 'confirmare' through Old French 'confirmer'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be foretold', and 'confirmed' meant 'to make firm or establish'. Together, they describe something that is established in an expected manner.
