unstable, changeable
Etymology
'expectedly-volatile' originates from the combination of 'expectedly' and 'volatile', where 'expectedly' is derived from 'expect' meaning 'to anticipate', and 'volatile' from Latin 'volatilis', meaning 'fleeting or transitory'.
'expectedly' evolved from the Old French 'expecter', and 'volatile' from the Latin 'volatilis', eventually forming the modern English term 'expectedly-volatile'.
Initially, 'volatile' meant 'fleeting or transitory', but over time it evolved to describe situations prone to rapid change, combined with 'expectedly' to indicate anticipation of such changes.
