Etymology
'progressively-updated' originates from the combination of 'progressive' and 'update', where 'progressive' comes from Latin 'progressivus', meaning 'moving forward', and 'update' is derived from 'up' and 'date', meaning 'to bring up to date'.
'progressive' changed from the Latin word 'progressivus' and 'update' evolved from the Middle English 'updaten', eventually forming the modern English term 'progressively-updated'.
Initially, 'progressive' meant 'moving forward', and 'update' meant 'to bring up to date'. Together, they evolved to describe something that is continuously improved over time.
