'steadily-judged' originates from the combination of 'steadily' and 'judged', where 'steadily' comes from the Old English 'stede' meaning 'place' and 'judged' from the Latin 'judicare' meaning 'to judge'.

'steadily' evolved from the Old English 'stede' and 'judged' from the Latin 'judicare', eventually forming the modern English compound 'steadily-judged'.

Initially, 'steadily' meant 'in a firm or unwavering manner' and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion', and together they convey the idea of forming an opinion in a consistent manner.
