accidentally returned
Etymology
'inadvertently-restored' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'restored'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'unintentional', and 'restored' from Latin 'restaurare', meaning 'to renew'.
'Inadvertently' changed from the Latin word 'inadvertentem' and 'restored' from 'restaurare', eventually forming the modern English compound 'inadvertently-restored'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'unintentional', and 'restored' meant 'to renew'. Together, they evolved to mean 'accidentally returned to a previous state'.
