|typ-i-cal-ly-set|
/ˈtɪpɪkli-sɛt/
commonly arranged
Etymology
'typically-set' originates from the combination of 'typical' and 'set', where 'typical' comes from the Greek word 'typos' meaning 'impression' or 'pattern', and 'set' from Old English 'settan' meaning 'to place'.
'typical' evolved from the Greek 'typos' through Latin 'typicus', and 'set' from Old English 'settan', eventually forming the modern English compound 'typically-set'.
Initially, 'typical' meant 'of the nature of a type', and 'set' meant 'to place', evolving into the current meaning of 'commonly arranged'.
