Etymology
'unintentionally-accepted' originates from the combination of 'unintentional' and 'accept', where 'unintentional' means 'not done on purpose' and 'accept' means 'to receive willingly'.
'Unintentional' comes from the Latin 'intentio', meaning 'stretching out', combined with the prefix 'un-' to denote negation. 'Accept' comes from the Latin 'acceptare', meaning 'to take or receive'.
Initially, 'unintentional' meant 'not intended', and 'accept' meant 'to receive'. Together, they describe something received without intent.
