irregularly constructed
Etymology
'inconsistently-assembled' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'assemble'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'consistens' meant 'standing firm'. 'Assemble' comes from Latin 'assemblare', where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'simulare' meant 'make similar'.
'Inconsistent' evolved from the Latin 'inconsistens' through Old French 'inconsistant', and 'assemble' evolved from Latin 'assemblare' through Old French 'assembler'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'assemble' meant 'to make similar'. Over time, 'inconsistently-assembled' came to mean 'put together in a manner lacking uniformity'.
