predictably unstable
Etymology
'expectedly-unstable' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'unstable', where 'expectedly' is derived from 'expect', meaning 'to foresee or anticipate', and 'unstable' from Latin 'instabilis', meaning 'not stable'.
'Expectedly' evolved from the Old French 'expecter', and 'unstable' from the Latin 'instabilis'.
Initially, 'expectedly' meant 'in a manner that is anticipated', and 'unstable' meant 'not stable'. The combined term retains these meanings.
