unplanned setting
Etymology
'spontaneously-set' originates from the combination of 'spontaneous' and 'set'. 'Spontaneous' comes from Latin, specifically the word 'spontaneus', where 'sponte' meant 'of one's free will'.
'spontaneus' transformed into the English word 'spontaneous', and eventually combined with 'set' to form 'spontaneously-set'.
Initially, 'spontaneous' meant 'of one's free will', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring without external cause'.
