'foreseeably-modified' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'modified'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', meaning 'to see beforehand'. 'Modified' comes from Latin 'modificare', where 'modus' meant 'measure' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.

'Foreseeably' evolved from the Old English 'foreseon', while 'modified' transformed from the Latin 'modificare' into the modern English word 'modify'.

Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'modify' meant 'to make a measure'. Over time, 'foreseeably-modified' evolved to mean 'altered in a predictable manner'.
