Etymology
'predictably-located' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'located'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to say beforehand'. 'Located' comes from Latin 'locare', meaning 'to place'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'located' evolved from Latin 'locare' through Middle English 'locaten'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'able to be predicted', and 'located' meant 'placed'. Together, they describe something placed in an expected location.
