'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'progressive' from Latin 'progressus' through Middle English 'progressif'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'able to be foretold', and 'progressive' meant 'moving forward'. Together, they describe a forward-moving trend that is expected.
