(unintentionally-check)
unplanned verification
Etymology
'unintentionally-checked' originates from the combination of 'unintentionally' and 'checked', where 'unintentionally' comes from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'intentionally' meaning 'with intention', and 'checked' from 'check' meaning 'to examine'.
'unintentionally' evolved from the Old English 'un-' and 'intention', while 'checked' comes from the Middle English 'chekken', which was derived from the Old French 'eschequier'.
Initially, 'check' meant 'to stop or restrain', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to examine or verify'.
