Etymology
'inconsistently-supplied' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'supply', where 'inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', meaning 'not standing together', and 'supply' from Latin 'supplere', meaning 'to fill up'.
'Inconsistently' evolved from the Latin 'inconsistens', and 'supplied' from the Latin 'supplere', eventually forming the modern English term 'inconsistently-supplied'.
Initially, 'inconsistently' meant 'not standing together', and 'supplied' meant 'to fill up'. Over time, it evolved to describe something provided in an irregular manner.
