'uniquely' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'unicus,' where 'uni-' meant 'one' and '-cus' meant 'pertaining to.' 'Positioned' comes from Latin 'positio,' meaning 'placement.'

'uniquely' changed from the Old French word 'uniqu' and eventually became the modern English word 'unique.' 'Positioned' evolved from the Latin 'positio' through Middle English 'posicioun.'

Initially, 'unique' meant 'one of a kind,' and 'positioned' meant 'placed.' Over time, 'uniquely-positioned' evolved to mean having a special advantage or placement.
