irregular modification
Etymology
'inconsistently-adjusted' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'adjusted'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'consistere' meaning 'stand firm'. 'Adjusted' comes from Latin 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'justus' meaning 'right' or 'proper'.
'Inconsistent' evolved from the Latin 'inconsistens', while 'adjusted' evolved from the Old French 'ajuster'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'adjusted' meant 'made right'. Together, they imply a lack of regularity in modification.
