'consistently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'consistere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'sistere' meant 'to stand.' 'Recorded' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'recordari,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'cordis' meant 'heart or mind.'

'consistere' transformed into the Old French word 'consister,' and eventually became the modern English word 'consistent.' 'Recordari' transformed into the Old French word 'recorder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'record.'

Initially, 'consistently' meant 'standing together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'in a consistent manner.' 'Recorded' initially meant 'to recall to mind,' but now means 'to set down in writing or other permanent form.'
