Etymology
'inconsistently-rejected' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'rejected', where 'inconsistent' means 'not consistent' and 'rejected' means 'dismissed or refused'.
'inconsistent' changed from the Latin word 'inconsistens' and 'rejected' from the Latin word 'rejectus', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-rejected'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing together' and 'rejected' meant 'thrown back', but over time they evolved into their current meanings of 'not consistent' and 'dismissed or refused'.
