'remotely-evaluated' is a modern compound formed from the adverb 'remotely' (the adverbial form of 'remote') and 'evaluated' (the past participle of 'evaluate'). 'Remote' originates from Latin 'remotus' (the past participle of 'removere'), where 're-' meant 'back' and 'movere' meant 'to move'. 'Evaluate' originates from French 'évaluer' (from Medieval Latin 'evaluare'), ultimately related to Latin 'valere' meaning 'to be worth or to have value.'

'remote' passed from Latin 'remotus' into Old French and Middle English as 'remote'; 'evaluate' developed via Medieval Latin 'evaluare' into French 'évaluer' and then into modern English 'evaluate'. The compound usage (adverb + past participle) to form adjectives like 'remotely-evaluated' is a product of contemporary English, especially with the rise of remote/online processes.

Individually, 'remote' originally meant 'removed' or 'distant', and 'evaluate' originally meant 'to determine value'; combined in modern usage the phrase now specifically means 'assessed from a distance (often using technology)', a sense that has become common with increased remote work and online assessment.
