Etymology
'consistently-operating' originates from the combination of 'consistent' and 'operate', where 'consistent' meant 'steady' and 'operate' meant 'to function'.
'consistent' changed from the Latin word 'consistere' and 'operate' from the Latin 'operari', eventually forming the modern English term 'consistently-operating'.
Initially, 'consistent' meant 'standing firm', and 'operate' meant 'to work', evolving into the current meaning of 'functioning reliably'.
