Etymology
'unwillingly-created' originates from the combination of 'unwillingly' and 'created', where 'unwillingly' is derived from 'unwilling', meaning 'not willing', and 'created' from 'create', meaning 'to bring into existence'.
'unwillingly' changed from Old English 'unwillende', and 'create' from Latin 'creare', eventually forming the modern English term 'unwillingly-created'.
Initially, 'unwillingly' meant 'not willing', and 'create' meant 'to bring into existence'. The combined term 'unwillingly-created' evolved to mean 'produced without intention'.
