'inconsistently-borne' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'borne', where 'inconsistent' means 'not consistent' and 'borne' is the past participle of 'bear', meaning 'carried'.
'inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', and 'borne' is derived from Old English 'beran'.
Initially, 'borne' meant 'carried', and 'inconsistent' meant 'not consistent'. Together, they describe something carried in a non-uniform manner.
