Etymology
The word "calculatedly" is derived from the adjective "calculated," which comes from the verb "calculate." The Latin root of both words is "calculare," which means 'to count' or 'to compute.' Initially used in mathematical contexts, the term evolved to encompass broader meanings associated with planning and strategizing. The transition into broader usage appeared in the 17th century as individuals began to apply the term to actions and decisions beyond mere arithmetic calculations. The suffix '-ly' indicates that it is an adverb, describing how something is done. The notion of acting calculatedly suggests a thoughtful and often analytical approach to decision-making, emphasizing intention and purpose.
