'remote-assessed' originates from Modern English as a compound formed from 'remote' + the past participle 'assessed' (i.e., 'assessed at a distance').

'remote' comes ultimately from Latin 'remotus' (past participle of 'removere', 'to move back'), passing into Old French and then Middle English as 'remote'; 'assess' derives from Latin frequentative 'assessare' (related to 'assidere', 'to sit beside'), through Old French into Middle English 'assessen' and modern English 'assess', with 'assessed' as its past/past-participle form. The compound 'remote-assessed' is a recent modern English formation combining these elements.

Individually, 'remote' originally meant 'removed' or 'at a distance', and 'assess' meant 'to sit beside (for the purpose of evaluating)' evolving to 'to evaluate or estimate'; together in modern usage the compound means 'evaluated from a distance' (i.e., assessed using remote/online methods).
