Etymology
'predictably-recognized' is a compound word formed from 'predictably' and 'recognized'. 'Predictably' originates from 'predict', which comes from Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to say beforehand'. 'Recognized' comes from Latin 'recognoscere', meaning 'to know again'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', and 'recognized' evolved from Latin 'recognoscere' through Old French 'reconoistre'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be predicted', and 'recognized' meant 'to know again'. The compound word maintains these meanings in modern usage.
