'rightfully-transported' originates from the combination of 'rightfully' and 'transported'. 'Rightfully' comes from 'right', meaning 'just' or 'lawful', and the suffix '-fully', indicating 'in a manner of'. 'Transported' is derived from Latin 'transportare', where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'portare' meant 'to carry'.

'rightfully' evolved from Old English 'rihtlice', and 'transported' from Latin 'transportare', through Old French 'transporter'.

Initially, 'rightfully' meant 'in a just manner', and 'transported' meant 'carried across'. The combined term retains these meanings in modern usage.
