Etymology
'inadvertently-demonstrated' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'demonstrated'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'demonstrated' from Latin 'demonstratus', meaning 'to show'.
'Inadvertently' evolved from the Latin 'inadvertentem' through Old French 'inadvertent', while 'demonstrated' evolved from Latin 'demonstratus' through Old French 'demonstrer'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'without turning the mind to', and 'demonstrated' meant 'to show'. Over time, they combined to mean 'shown without intention'.
