unintentionally revealed
Etymology
'inadvertently-exposed' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'exposed'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'exposed' from Latin 'exponere', meaning 'to put out'.
'inadvertently' changed from the Latin 'inadvertentem' to the modern English 'inadvertently', and 'exposed' evolved from the Latin 'exponere' to the modern English 'exposed'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'unintentional', and 'exposed' meant 'to put out', which has largely remained the same in modern usage.
