Etymology
Etymology Information

'intermittently-noted' originates from the combination of 'intermittent' and 'noted'. 'Intermittent' comes from Latin 'intermittere', where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'. 'Noted' is derived from Latin 'notare', meaning 'to mark'.

Historical Evolution

'Intermittent' changed from the Latin word 'intermittere' to the Old French 'intermettre', and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent'. 'Noted' evolved from the Latin 'notare' to the Old French 'noter', and then to the modern English 'note'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring at irregular intervals'. 'Noted' has largely retained its original meaning of 'marked or recorded'.
