Etymology
'predictably-guided' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'guided'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'dicere' meant 'to say'. 'Guided' comes from Old English 'gīedan', meaning 'to lead or direct'.
'predictably' evolved from 'predict', which was influenced by Latin 'praedicere'. 'Guided' evolved from Old English 'gīedan'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be predicted', and 'guided' meant 'led or directed'. Together, they form a phrase meaning 'led in an expected manner'.
