'righteously-conducted' evolved from the Old English 'rihtwīs' and Latin 'conductus', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective.
Initially, 'righteous' meant 'just' or 'virtuous', and 'conducted' meant 'to lead'. Over time, the compound adjective came to mean actions that are morally right or justifiable.
