Etymology
'incrementally-attained' originates from the combination of 'incrementally' and 'attained'. 'Incrementally' comes from 'increment', which originates from Latin 'incrementum', meaning 'growth'. 'Attained' comes from Old French 'ateindre', meaning 'to reach'.
'incrementally' evolved from 'incrementum' in Latin to 'increment' in English, while 'attained' evolved from Old French 'ateindre' to the modern English 'attain'.
Initially, 'incrementally' meant 'growth in stages', and 'attained' meant 'to reach'. Together, they convey the idea of achieving something gradually.
