unexpected change
Etymology
'unforeseen-modified' originates from the combination of 'unforeseen' and 'modified', where 'unforeseen' means 'not anticipated' and 'modified' means 'changed or altered'.
'unforeseen' and 'modified' have been used separately in English for centuries, but their combination into 'unforeseen-modified' is a modern construct to describe unexpected changes.
Initially, 'unforeseen' meant 'not seen in advance', and 'modified' meant 'changed'. Together, they describe a change that was not anticipated.
