'intermittently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intermittere,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send.' 'Ignore' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'ignorare,' where 'in-' meant 'not' and 'gnarus' meant 'aware.'

'intermittere' transformed into the French word 'intermettre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent' through Middle English. 'Ignorare' transformed into the French word 'ignorer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'ignore.'

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring at irregular intervals.' 'Ignore' initially meant 'not aware,' but evolved to mean 'to deliberately overlook or disregard.'
