Etymology
'inconsistently-segmented' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'segmented'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'consistere' meaning 'stand firm'. 'Segmented' comes from Latin 'segmentum', meaning 'a piece cut off'.
'Inconsistent' evolved from Latin 'inconsistens', while 'segmented' evolved from Latin 'segmentum'. The combination of these words in modern English forms 'inconsistently-segmented'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'segmented' meant 'a piece cut off'. Together, they describe something divided in a non-uniform manner.
