Etymology
'strictly-structured' originates from the combination of 'strictly' and 'structured', where 'strictly' is derived from Latin 'strictus', meaning 'tight' or 'drawn together', and 'structured' from Latin 'structura', meaning 'a fitting together, building'.
'strictly' changed from the Latin word 'strictus' and 'structured' from 'structura', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'strictly-structured'.
Initially, 'strictly' meant 'in a tight or precise manner' and 'structured' meant 'arranged or organized'. Together, they evolved to describe something organized in a very precise and controlled manner.
