Etymology
'intermittently-documented' originates from the combination of 'intermittent' and 'documented'. 'Intermittent' comes from Latin 'intermittere', where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'. 'Documented' comes from Latin 'documentum', meaning 'example, proof'.
'Intermittent' evolved from the Latin 'intermittere' through Old French 'intermettre' and Middle English 'intermitten'. 'Documented' evolved from Latin 'documentum' through Old French 'document' and Middle English 'document'.
Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between', evolving to mean 'occurring at irregular intervals'. 'Documented' has largely retained its meaning of 'recorded or written down'.
