Etymology
'slowly-organized' is a compound word formed from 'slowly' and 'organized'. 'Slowly' originates from Old English 'slāwlice', where 'slāw' meant 'slow'. 'Organized' comes from the Latin 'organizare', meaning 'to arrange'.
'slowly' changed from the Old English 'slāwlice' to the modern English 'slowly'. 'Organized' evolved from the Latin 'organizare' through Middle French 'organiser' to the modern English 'organized'.
Initially, 'slowly' meant 'in a slow manner', and 'organized' meant 'arranged systematically'. The compound 'slowly-organized' retains these meanings, emphasizing a gradual arrangement.
