'frequently-proposed' originates from the combination of 'frequently,' derived from Latin 'frequentia,' meaning 'a crowd or multitude,' and 'proposed,' from Latin 'proponere,' meaning 'to put forward.'

Historical Evolution

'frequentia' transformed into the Old French 'frequent,' and 'proponere' became 'proposer' in Old French, eventually forming the modern English 'frequently-proposed.'
