'intermittently-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'intermittent' and 'evaluate'. 'Intermittent' comes from Latin 'intermittere', where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'. 'Evaluate' comes from French 'évaluer', where 'é-' meant 'out' and 'valuer' meant 'to value'.

'intermittent' changed from the Latin word 'intermittere' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent'. 'Evaluate' transformed from the French word 'évaluer' and became the modern English word 'evaluate'.

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring at irregular intervals'. 'Evaluate' initially meant 'to value out', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
