Etymology
'surprisingly-verified' originates from the combination of 'surprise' and 'verify', where 'surprise' meant 'to astonish' and 'verify' meant 'to confirm the truth of something'.
'surprise' changed from the Old French word 'surprendre' and 'verify' from the Latin word 'verificare', eventually becoming the modern English words 'surprise' and 'verify'.
Initially, 'surprise' meant 'to overtake' and 'verify' meant 'to make true', but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'astonish' and 'confirm'.
