gradual validation
Etymology
'incrementally-confirmed' originates from the combination of 'incremental' and 'confirm,' where 'incremental' is derived from the Latin 'incrementum,' meaning 'growth,' and 'confirm' from the Latin 'confirmare,' meaning 'to strengthen or establish.'
'incremental' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Old French 'increment,' and 'confirm' from Latin 'confirmare' through Old French 'confirmer,' eventually forming the modern English term 'incrementally-confirmed.'
Initially, 'incremental' meant 'growth or increase,' and 'confirm' meant 'to strengthen or establish.' Together, they evolved to describe a process of gradual validation.
