Etymology
'rightly-determined' originates from the combination of 'rightly,' meaning 'in a correct or just manner,' and 'determined,' meaning 'having made a firm decision.'
'rightly' and 'determined' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, with 'rightly' coming from Old English 'rihtlice' and 'determined' from Latin 'determinare.'
Initially, 'rightly' meant 'in accordance with justice,' and 'determined' meant 'to set boundaries.' Over time, they evolved to mean 'correctly' and 'firmly decided,' respectively.
