inadvertent
의미: Not resulting from or achieved through deliberate planning; unintentional, accidental, or occurring through lack of attention or care.
Inadvertent is a formal way of saying that something was not done on purpose, typically used to describe errors, omissions, or breaches that arose from inattention rather than malice. It is softer than 'negligent' (which implies a failure of duty) and more precise than 'accidental' (which could suggest pure chance). The adverb 'inadvertently' is very common in official apologies and legal defences: 'I inadvertently misled the House.' It collocates with 'inadvertent error,' 'inadvertent disclosure,' 'inadvertent breach,' and 'inadvertently omitted.'
