Etymology
'foreseeably-changed' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'changed'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', where 'fore-' meant 'before' and 'seon' meant 'to see'. 'Changed' comes from Old French 'changier', which meant 'to alter'.
'Foreseeably' evolved from the Old English 'foreseon' and 'changed' from the Old French 'changier', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'foreseeably-changed'.
Initially, 'foreseeably' meant 'in a manner that can be seen beforehand', and 'changed' meant 'altered'. Together, they describe a change that could have been anticipated.
