Etymology
'inadvertently-displayed' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'displayed'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin, specifically the word 'inadvertentem', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'advertentem' meant 'turning the mind to'. 'Displayed' comes from Old French 'despleier', meaning 'to unfold'.
'inadvertently' changed from the Latin word 'inadvertentem' and eventually became the modern English word 'inadvertently'. 'Displayed' evolved from the Old French 'despleier' to the modern English 'displayed'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'not turning the mind to', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'accidentally'. 'Displayed' has largely retained its original meaning of 'unfolding or showing'.
