'well-positioned' originates from the combination of 'well,' meaning 'in a good or satisfactory way,' and 'positioned,' the past participle of 'position,' meaning 'to place or arrange in a particular way.'

'position' changed from the Latin word 'positio,' which meant 'a placing or setting,' and eventually became the modern English word 'position.'

Initially, 'position' meant 'a placing or setting,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a place where someone or something is located or has been put.'
