'Modified' comes from Latin 'modificare', where 'modus' meant 'measure' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.
'unforeseenly-modified' is a modern English compound word formed by combining 'unforeseenly' and 'modified'.
Initially, 'unforeseenly' meant 'in a manner not foreseen', and 'modified' meant 'changed'. Together, they describe something altered unexpectedly.
