Etymology
'accidentally-provided' originates from the combination of 'accidentally' and 'provided'. 'Accidentally' comes from Latin 'accidentalis', meaning 'happening by chance', and 'provided' from Latin 'providere', meaning 'to supply or furnish'.
'accidentally' evolved from the Latin 'accidentalis' through Old French 'accidentel', and 'provided' from Latin 'providere' through Old French 'proveer'.
Initially, 'accidentally' meant 'by chance', and 'provided' meant 'to supply'. Together, they convey the idea of something supplied unintentionally.
