unintentional sharing
Etymology
'accidentally-shared' originates from the combination of 'accidentally' and 'shared', where 'accidentally' comes from Latin 'accidentalis', meaning 'happening by chance', and 'shared' from Old English 'scearu', meaning 'division'.
'accidentally' evolved from the Latin 'accidentalis' through Old French 'accidentel', and 'shared' from Old English 'scearu' to the modern English 'share'.
Initially, 'accidentally' meant 'happening by chance', and 'shared' meant 'division'. Over time, 'accidentally-shared' evolved to mean 'shared unintentionally'.
