Etymology
'accidentally-restored' originates from the combination of 'accidentally' and 'restored'. 'Accidentally' comes from Latin 'accidentalis', meaning 'happening by chance', and 'restored' from Latin 'restaurare', meaning 'to renew or rebuild'.
'accidentally' evolved from the Latin 'accidentalis' through Old French 'accidentel', while 'restored' evolved from Latin 'restaurare' through Old French 'restorer'.
Initially, 'accidentally' meant 'by chance', and 'restored' meant 'to renew'. The combined term 'accidentally-restored' retains these meanings, indicating something renewed by chance.
