'inconsistently-designed' evolved from the combination of the words 'inconsistent' and 'design', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing together', and 'design' meant 'to mark out'. Over time, they combined to describe something lacking uniformity in design.
