'consistently-decorated' originates from English as a modern hyphenated compound. Its first element, 'consistently,' ultimately originates from Latin 'consistere' (with 'con-' meaning 'together' and 'sistere' meaning 'to stand'), while 'decorated' originates from Latin 'decorare' (from 'decor' meaning 'grace, beauty').

'Consistent' entered English via Late Latin 'consistent-' through French/learned borrowings and gave rise to the adverb 'consistently' in Modern English. 'Decorate' was borrowed into English from French 'décorer', based on Latin 'decorare'; its past participle/adjectival form 'decorated' developed in English. These elements were combined in Modern English to form the compound adjective 'consistently-decorated'.

Initially, the roots conveyed the ideas of 'standing together' (regularity) and 'adorn/beautify.' Combined, they now express the modern sense of being 'adorned in a uniform, coherent manner,' a meaning that aligns closely with the original components.
