Etymology
'inconsistently-led' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'led', where 'inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', meaning 'not standing firm', and 'led' is the past participle of 'lead', from Old English 'lædan'.
'inconsistently' evolved from 'inconsistent', which was derived from Latin 'inconsistens', and 'led' from Old English 'lædan', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-led'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'led' meant 'guided'. Together, they evolved to describe leadership lacking consistency.
