'intermittently-banned' originates from the combination of 'intermittently' and 'banned'. 'Intermittently' comes from Latin 'intermittere', where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'. 'Banned' comes from Old English 'bannan', meaning 'to summon or proclaim'.

'Intermittently' evolved from Latin 'intermittere' through Old French 'intermettre', and 'banned' evolved from Old English 'bannan'.

Initially, 'intermittently' meant 'to send between', but over time it evolved to mean 'occurring at irregular intervals'. 'Banned' has largely retained its original meaning of 'prohibited'.
