Etymology
'predictably-delivered' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'delivered'. 'Predictably' comes from the Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to foretell', and 'delivered' from the Old French 'delivrer', meaning 'to set free'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'delivered' from Old French 'delivrer'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'foretold' and 'delivered' meant 'set free', but together they evolved to mean 'delivered as expected'.
