Etymology
'foreseeably-developed' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'developed'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', meaning 'to see beforehand'. 'Developed' comes from the French 'développer', meaning 'to unfold'.
'foreseeably' changed from the Old English 'foreseon' to the modern English 'foresee', and 'developed' evolved from the French 'développer' to the modern English 'develop'.
Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'develop' meant 'to unfold'. Over time, 'foreseeably-developed' evolved to mean 'developed in a manner that can be predicted'.
