Etymology
'consistently-whole' is a compound word formed from 'consistently' and 'whole'. 'Consistently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'consistere', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'sistere' meant 'to stand'. 'Whole' originates from Old English 'hāl', meaning 'entire'.
'consistere' transformed into the Middle English word 'consisten', and eventually became the modern English word 'consistently'. 'Hāl' evolved into the modern English word 'whole'.
Initially, 'consistere' meant 'to stand together', and 'hāl' meant 'entire'. Over time, 'consistently-whole' evolved to describe something that is entirely complete and uniform in its consistency.
