'predictably-steered' originates from the combination of 'predictably' and 'steered'. 'Predictably' comes from 'predict', which originates from Latin 'praedicere', where 'prae-' meant 'before' and 'dicere' meant 'to say'. 'Steered' comes from Old English 'steoran', meaning 'to guide or direct'.

'Predictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Middle English 'predicten', while 'steered' evolved from Old English 'steoran'. The combination of these words into 'predictably-steered' is a modern English construct.

Initially, 'predictably' meant 'in a manner that can be foretold', and 'steered' meant 'guided'. Together, they convey the idea of being guided in a foreseeable manner.
