Etymology
'incrementally-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'incremental' and 'evaluate'. 'Incremental' comes from the Latin 'incrementum', meaning 'growth', and 'evaluate' comes from the Latin 'valere', meaning 'to be strong or worthy'.
'Incremental' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Old French 'increment', while 'evaluate' evolved from the Latin 'valere' through Old French 'evaluer'.
Initially, 'incremental' meant 'growth', and 'evaluate' meant 'to be strong or worthy'. Over time, they combined to describe a process of gradual assessment.
