'consistently-linked' originates from the combination of 'consistent' and 'link,' where 'consistent' means 'reliable or steady' and 'link' means 'connection or association.'

'Consistent' comes from the Latin word 'consistere,' meaning 'to stand firm,' and 'link' comes from the Old Norse word 'hlank,' meaning 'a chain or connection.'

Initially, 'consistent' meant 'standing firm,' and 'link' meant 'a chain or connection.' Over time, they evolved to mean 'reliable' and 'association,' respectively.
