'consistently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'consistere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'sistere' meant 'to stand.' 'Built' comes from Old English 'byldan,' meaning 'to construct.'

'consistere' transformed into the Old French word 'consister,' and eventually became the modern English word 'consist.' 'Byldan' evolved into the modern English 'build.'

Initially, 'consist' meant 'to stand together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'being in agreement or harmony.' 'Build' has largely retained its original meaning of 'constructing something.'
