Etymology
'unexpectedly-judged' is a compound word formed from 'unexpectedly' and 'judged'. 'Unexpectedly' originates from 'unexpected', which comes from the Latin 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'pectare' meaning 'to look'. 'Judged' comes from the Latin 'judicare', where 'jus' meant 'law' and 'dicare' meant 'to proclaim'.
'Unexpectedly' evolved from the Old French 'despecier', and 'judged' from the Old French 'jugier', eventually forming the modern English compound 'unexpectedly-judged'.
Initially, 'unexpectedly' meant 'not foreseen', and 'judged' meant 'to form an opinion'. Together, they convey the idea of being assessed in an unforeseen manner.
