reviewed by chance
Etymology
'accidentally-reviewed' originates from the combination of 'accidentally' and 'reviewed', where 'accidentally' comes from Latin 'accidentalis', meaning 'happening by chance', and 'reviewed' is derived from 'review', which comes from Old French 'reviure', meaning 'to see again'.
'accidentally' changed from the Latin word 'accidentalis' and 'reviewed' from the Old French 'reviure', eventually forming the modern English term 'accidentally-reviewed'.
Initially, 'accidentally' meant 'by chance', and 'reviewed' meant 'to see again'. Together, they evolved to mean 'reviewed by chance'.
