> No. Evolve doesn't mean what you suggest.

Evolve, as you note, didn't originally mean 'simply change'. But it *is* how very many people now use the word.

It evolved...

(and yes, some such changes drive me nuts. But many folk use new words or forms for successful communication; so much so that they are often added to the OED - https://public.oed.com/updates/ )
