(unpredictable)
not predictable
Etymology
'unpredictably' originates from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'predictable' from Latin 'praedicere,' meaning 'to foretell.' 'Changed' comes from Old French 'changier,' meaning 'to alter.'
'Unpredictably' evolved from the Latin 'praedicere' through Old French 'predire,' while 'changed' evolved from Old French 'changier.'
Initially, 'unpredictably' meant 'not able to be foretold,' and 'changed' meant 'to alter,' which remains consistent in modern usage.
