Etymology
'inadvertently-modified' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'modified'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'modified' comes from Latin 'modificare', meaning 'to measure or limit'.
'inadvertently' changed from the Latin word 'inadvertentem' and 'modified' from 'modificare', eventually becoming the modern English phrase 'inadvertently-modified'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'unintentional', and 'modified' meant 'to change'. Together, they evolved to mean 'changed without intention'.
