Etymology
'securely-united' originates from the combination of 'securely' and 'united', where 'securely' means 'in a secure manner' and 'united' means 'joined together'.
'Securely' and 'united' have been used separately in English since the Middle Ages, but their combination into 'securely-united' is a modern construct.
Initially, 'securely' and 'united' were used separately to denote safety and togetherness, respectively. Their combination emphasizes a strong, unbreakable bond.
