/ˌʌnɪnˈtɛnʃənəli-fɪkst/
resolved without intention
Etymology
'unintentionally-fixed' originates from the combination of 'unintentionally' and 'fixed', where 'unintentionally' means 'not done on purpose' and 'fixed' means 'repaired or resolved'.
'unintentionally' comes from the Latin 'intentio', meaning 'stretching or purpose', with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation. 'Fixed' comes from the Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
Initially, 'unintentionally' meant 'without intention', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Over time, 'fixed' evolved to mean 'repaired', leading to the modern meaning of 'unintentionally-fixed' as 'resolved without intention'.
