Etymology
Etymology Information

'continuously-validated' is a compound formed from 'continuously' and 'validated'. 'Continuously' derives from Latin 'continuus' via Old French and Middle English, where 'continuus' meant 'uninterrupted'. 'Validated' comes from Latin 'validare', where 'valid-' meant 'strong, effective' and the verb meant 'to make valid.'

Historical Evolution

'validated' originates from Latin 'validare' which passed into Old French as 'valider' and later into English as 'validate' in the modern period. 'Continuously' comes from Latin 'continuus' which entered English through Old French and Middle English forms before becoming 'continuous' and then the adverb 'continuously'. The compound 'continuously-validated' is a modern English formation combining the adverb and past participle.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'validate' meant 'to make strong or effective' (from Latin) and then 'to confirm or make legally or logically valid.' Over time, the combined modern expression 'continuously-validated' came to mean 'subjected to ongoing validation checks'—emphasizing repeated or uninterrupted confirmation.
