accidentally-raised
|ac-ci-den-tal-ly-raised|
/ˌæksɪˈdɛntəli reɪzd/
unintentionally elevated
Etymology
'accidentally-raised' originates from the combination of 'accidentally,' derived from Latin 'accidentalis,' meaning 'happening by chance,' and 'raised,' from Old English 'rǣran,' meaning 'to lift or elevate.'
'Accidentally' evolved from the Latin 'accidentalis' through Old French 'accidental,' while 'raised' transformed from Old English 'rǣran' to the modern English 'raise.'
Initially, 'accidentally' meant 'by chance,' and 'raised' meant 'to lift.' The combined term 'accidentally-raised' retains these meanings, describing something lifted by chance.
