unforeseen creation
Etymology
'unexpectedly-made' originates from the combination of 'unexpectedly' and 'made'. 'Unexpectedly' comes from 'unexpected', which is derived from the Latin 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'spectare' meaning 'to look'. 'Made' is the past participle of 'make', which comes from Old English 'macian'.
'unexpectedly' evolved from the Middle English 'unexpectid', and 'made' from the Old English 'macod'.
Initially, 'unexpectedly' meant 'not looked for', and 'made' meant 'created'. Over time, 'unexpectedly-made' came to mean 'created in an unforeseen manner'.
