Etymology
'inconsistently-verified' originates from the combination of 'inconsistent' and 'verified'. 'Inconsistent' comes from Latin 'inconsistens', where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'consistens' meant 'standing firm'. 'Verified' comes from Latin 'verificare', where 'verus' meant 'true' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.
'inconsistently-verified' combines the words 'inconsistent' and 'verified', which have been used in English since the 16th and 15th centuries respectively.
Initially, 'inconsistent' meant 'not standing firm', and 'verified' meant 'made true'. Over time, 'inconsistently-verified' evolved to describe something checked without regularity.
