frequently-carried
|fre-quent-ly-car-ried|
/ˈfriːkwəntli ˈkærid/
often transported
Etymology
'frequently-carried' originates from the combination of 'frequently,' derived from Latin 'frequentia,' meaning 'crowded,' and 'carried,' from Old English 'carian,' meaning 'to bear or transport.'
'frequently' evolved from the Latin 'frequentia' through Old French 'frequent,' while 'carried' transformed from Old English 'carian' to the modern English 'carry.'
Initially, 'frequently' meant 'crowded or full,' but over time it evolved to mean 'often or regularly.' 'Carried' has maintained its meaning of 'to bear or transport.'
