Etymology
'incrementally-assessed' originates from the combination of 'incremental' and 'assess', where 'incremental' comes from the Latin 'incrementum', meaning 'growth', and 'assess' from the Latin 'assidere', meaning 'to sit beside'.
'incremental' changed from the Latin word 'incrementum' and 'assess' from 'assidere', eventually forming the modern English term 'incrementally-assessed'.
Initially, 'incremental' meant 'growth', and 'assess' meant 'to sit beside', but over time, they evolved into their current meanings of 'gradual' and 'evaluate', respectively.
