inconsistently-mixed
|in-con-sist-ent-ly-mixed|
/ˌɪnkənˈsɪstəntli mɪkst/
unevenly combined
Etymology
'inconsistently-mixed' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'mixed'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'consistens' meant 'standing firm'. 'Mixed' comes from Latin 'miscere', meaning 'to mix'.
'Inconsistent' evolved from the Latin 'inconsistens' through Old French 'inconsistant', and 'mixed' evolved from Latin 'miscere' through Old French 'mixer'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'mixed' meant 'to mix'. Over time, 'inconsistently-mixed' evolved to mean 'not uniformly combined'.
