Etymology
'foreseeably-proven' originates from the combination of 'foreseeably' and 'proven'. 'Foreseeably' comes from 'foresee', which originates from Old English 'foreseon', meaning 'to see beforehand'. 'Proven' is the past participle of 'prove', which comes from Latin 'probare', meaning 'to test or prove'.
'Foreseeably' changed from the Old English 'foreseon' to the modern English 'foresee', and 'proven' evolved from the Latin 'probare' to the modern English 'prove'.
Initially, 'foresee' meant 'to see beforehand', and 'prove' meant 'to test or prove'. Over time, 'foreseeably-proven' evolved to mean something that has been proven in a predictable manner.
