Etymology
'predictably-formed' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'formed'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'dicere' meant 'to say'. 'Formed' comes from Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'formed' evolved from Latin 'formare' through Old French 'former'.
Initially, 'predict' meant 'to say beforehand', and 'form' meant 'to shape'. The combination 'predictably-formed' implies something shaped in a way that can be anticipated.
