Etymology
'inadvertently-supported' originates from the combination of 'inadvertently' and 'supported'. 'Inadvertently' comes from Latin 'inadvertentem', meaning 'not turning the mind to', and 'supported' from Latin 'supportare', meaning 'to carry from below'.
'Inadvertently' evolved from the Latin 'inadvertentem' through Old French 'inadvertent', while 'supported' evolved from Latin 'supportare' through Old French 'supporter'.
Initially, 'inadvertently' meant 'not paying attention', and 'supported' meant 'to carry from below'. Over time, 'inadvertently-supported' evolved to mean 'accidentally given support'.
