'standard-positioned' originates from the combination of 'standard' and 'positioned', where 'standard' meant 'a level of quality or attainment' and 'positioned' meant 'placed in a particular location'.

'standard' and 'positioned' have been used in English since the late Middle Ages, evolving from Old French and Latin roots.

Initially, 'standard' referred to a flag or emblem, but over time it evolved to mean a level of quality, while 'positioned' has largely retained its original meaning of 'placed'.
