Etymology
Etymology Information

'intermittently-created' originates from the combination of 'intermittent' and 'create', where 'intermittent' comes from Latin 'intermittere', meaning 'to leave off' or 'to pause', and 'create' from Latin 'creare', meaning 'to make' or 'to produce'.

Historical Evolution

'intermittent' changed from the Latin word 'intermittere' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent'. Similarly, 'create' evolved from the Latin 'creare' to the modern English 'create'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to pause or stop temporarily', and 'create' meant 'to produce'. Together, they convey the idea of something being produced at irregular intervals.
