morally right execution
Etymology
'righteously-performed' originates from the combination of 'righteous' and 'perform', where 'righteous' meant 'morally right' and 'perform' meant 'to carry out an action'.
'righteous' changed from Old English 'rihtwīs' meaning 'just, upright' and 'perform' from Old French 'parfornir' meaning 'to accomplish'.
Initially, 'righteous' meant 'just or upright', and 'perform' meant 'to accomplish', evolving into the modern sense of 'morally right execution'.
