'frequently-linked' originates from the combination of 'frequently' and 'linked', where 'frequently' comes from Latin 'frequentia' meaning 'crowded' and 'linked' from Old English 'hlinc' meaning 'ridge'.

'frequently' evolved from Latin 'frequentia' through Old French 'frequent' and Middle English 'frequent', while 'linked' evolved from Old English 'hlinc' to Middle English 'link'.

Initially, 'frequently' meant 'crowded' and 'linked' meant 'ridge', but over time, 'frequently' evolved to mean 'often' and 'linked' to mean 'connected'.
