gradual confirmation
Etymology
'progressively-validated' originates from the combination of 'progressive' and 'validate', where 'progressive' comes from Latin 'progressivus', meaning 'moving forward', and 'validate' from Latin 'validare', meaning 'to make strong or confirm'.
'Progressive' evolved from the Latin 'progressivus' through Old French 'progressif', and 'validate' from Latin 'validare' through Middle English 'validaten'.
Initially, 'progressive' meant 'moving forward', and 'validate' meant 'to confirm'. Together, they evolved to mean 'confirmed in a gradual manner'.
