Etymology
'inadvertently-formed' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'formed', where 'inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'formed' from Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape or create'.
'inadvertently' changed from the Latin word 'inadvertentem' and eventually became the modern English word 'inadvertently'. 'Formed' evolved from the Latin 'formare' through Old French 'former'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'unintentional', and 'formed' meant 'to shape or create'. The combined term 'inadvertently-formed' retains the meaning of being created without intention.
