Etymology
'foreseeably-assembled' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'assembled'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', meaning 'to see beforehand'. 'Assembled' comes from Old French 'assembler', meaning 'to bring together'.
'Foreseeably' changed from the Old English word 'foreseon' and eventually became the modern English word 'foresee'. 'Assembled' transformed from the Old French word 'assembler' and became the modern English word 'assemble'.
Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'assemble' meant 'to bring together'. The combined term 'foreseeably-assembled' evolved to mean 'assembled in a predictable manner'.
