unforeseen assessment
Etymology
'unexpectedly-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'unexpectedly' and 'evaluated'. 'Unexpectedly' comes from 'unexpected', which is derived from the Latin 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'pectare' meaning 'to look'. 'Evaluated' comes from the Latin 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'valere' meaning 'to be strong or worth'.
'unexpectedly' changed from the Old French word 'unexpected' and 'evaluated' from the Latin 'evaluare', eventually forming the modern English term 'unexpectedly-evaluated'.
Initially, 'unexpectedly' meant 'not foreseen', and 'evaluated' meant 'assessed'. Together, they evolved to mean 'assessed in an unforeseen manner'.
