gradual renewal
Etymology
'incrementally' originates from the Latin word 'incrementum,' meaning 'growth' or 'increase,' and 'renovated' comes from the Latin 'renovare,' meaning 'to renew.'
'Incrementally' evolved from the Latin 'incrementum' through Old French 'increment,' and 'renovated' transformed from the Latin 'renovare' through Old French 'renover.'
Initially, 'incrementally' meant 'growth in small steps,' and 'renovated' meant 'renewed.' Over time, they combined to describe a process of gradual renewal.
