Etymology
'foreseeably-concluded' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'concluded'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', meaning 'to see beforehand'. 'Concluded' comes from Latin 'concludere', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'cludere' meant 'to shut'.
'foreseeably' evolved from 'foresee', which was used in Middle English as 'forseon'. 'Concluded' evolved from the Latin 'concludere', through Old French 'conclure', and into Middle English as 'concluden'.
Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'conclude' meant 'to shut together'. Over time, 'foreseeably-concluded' evolved to mean 'concluded in a manner that could have been predicted'.
