'inconsistently-aimed' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'aimed', where 'inconsistent' is derived from Latin 'inconsistens', meaning 'not standing firm', and 'aimed' from Old French 'esmer', meaning 'to estimate or intend'.

'inconsistently-aimed' evolved from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'aimed', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.

Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'aimed' meant 'to estimate or intend'. Over time, they combined to describe something not directed in a consistent manner.
