irregular production
Etymology
'inconsistently-produced' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'produced'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'consistent' from 'consistere' meaning 'to stand firm'. 'Produced' comes from Latin 'producere', where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead'.
'Inconsistent' evolved from the Latin 'inconsistens', and 'produced' from 'producere', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-produced'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'produced' meant 'brought forth'. Over time, 'inconsistently-produced' came to mean 'produced without regularity'.
