Etymology
'unforeseenly-updated' is a compound word formed from 'unforeseen' and 'updated'.

'Updated' comes from 'up' meaning 'to a higher place' and 'date' from Latin 'datum' meaning 'given'.

Initially, 'unforeseen' meant 'not seen beforehand', and 'updated' meant 'made current'. Together, they describe a modern phenomenon of unexpected digital changes.
