Etymology
'consistently-directed' originates from the combination of 'consistent' and 'directed'. 'Consistent' comes from Latin 'consistere', meaning 'to stand firm', and 'directed' comes from Latin 'directus', meaning 'straight'.
'Consistent' evolved from the Latin 'consistere' through Old French 'consistant', and 'directed' evolved from Latin 'directus' through Old French 'directer'.
Initially, 'consistent' meant 'standing firm', and 'directed' meant 'straight'. Over time, they combined to mean 'having a steady and unchanging focus'.
