'consistently-driven' originates from a combination of the adverb 'consistently' and the past-participle adjective 'driven'. 'Consistently' derives from 'consistent', ultimately from Latin 'consistere', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'sistere' meant 'to stand'. 'Driven' is the past participle of 'drive', which originates from Old English 'drīfan' meaning 'to push or pursue'.

'consistent' evolved into Middle English and Modern English forms via Old French and Latin influences, and 'drive' changed from Old English 'drīfan' into the modern verb 'drive'; the compound idea combining these elements resulted in the modern hyphenated expression 'consistently-driven' used to describe steady motivation.

Initially, the roots conveyed 'to stand together' (from 'consistere') and 'to push or pursue' (from 'drīfan'); over time, combining these elements produced the modern sense of 'consistently-driven' as 'steadily motivated' rather than the literal older senses.
