'consistently-segmented' originates from the combination of 'consistent' and 'segmented', where 'consistent' means 'acting or done in the same way over time' and 'segmented' means 'divided into parts'.

'Consistently-segmented' combines the words 'consistent' and 'segmented', which have been used in English since the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively.

Initially, 'consistent' meant 'standing firm' and 'segmented' meant 'cut into parts', but together they evolved to mean 'divided in a uniform manner'.
