Etymology
'securely-isolated' originates from the combination of 'securely' and 'isolated', where 'securely' means 'in a secure manner' and 'isolated' means 'separated from others'.
'securely' and 'isolated' have been used separately in English since the 14th century, and their combination into 'securely-isolated' is a modern usage to emphasize both security and isolation.
Initially, 'securely' and 'isolated' were used independently, but their combination emphasizes a state of being both secure and isolated.
