Etymology
'inadvertently-fixed' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'fixed'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'inadvertently' evolved from the Latin 'inadvertentem' through Old French 'inadvertant', while 'fixed' evolved from Latin 'fixus' through Old French 'fixer'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'unintentionally', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Together, they now mean 'accidentally corrected'.
