Etymology
'predictably-situated' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'situated'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', meaning 'to foretell'. 'Situated' comes from Latin 'situare', meaning 'to place'.
'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire', while 'situated' evolved from Latin 'situare' through Middle English 'situaten'.
Initially, 'predictably' meant 'able to be foretold', and 'situated' meant 'placed'. Together, they describe something placed in an expected manner.
