Etymology
'inconsistently-steered' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'steered', where 'inconsistent' means 'not consistent' and 'steered' means 'guided or directed'.
'inconsistent' changed from the Latin word 'inconsistens' and 'steered' from the Old English 'stēoran', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-steered'.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing together', and 'steered' meant 'to guide', evolving into the current meaning of 'guided in an irregular manner'.
