methodically guided
Etymology
'systematically-directed' originates from the combination of 'systematic' and 'directed'. 'Systematic' comes from the Greek word 'systēmatikos', meaning 'pertaining to a system', and 'directed' comes from the Latin word 'directus', meaning 'straight' or 'guided'.
'systematic' evolved from the Greek 'systēmatikos' through Latin 'systematicus', and 'directed' evolved from Latin 'directus' through Old French 'directer', eventually forming the modern English term 'systematically-directed'.
Initially, 'systematic' meant 'pertaining to a system', and 'directed' meant 'guided'. Together, they evolved to mean 'organized in a methodical way with a clear direction'.
