(incrementally-move)
gradual movement
Etymology
'incrementally-moved' originates from the word 'incremental,' which comes from the Latin 'incrementum,' meaning 'growth' or 'increase,' combined with 'move,' from the Latin 'movere,' meaning 'to move.'
'incremental' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Old French 'increment,' and 'move' from Latin 'movere' through Old French 'movoir,' eventually forming the modern English term 'incrementally-moved.'
Initially, 'incremental' meant 'growth or increase,' and 'move' meant 'to change position,' evolving into the current meaning of 'moved in small steps.'
