'intermittently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intermittere,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send.' 'Recorded' comes from Latin 'recordari,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'cordis' meant 'heart or mind.'

'intermittere' transformed into the Old French word 'intermettre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent.' 'Recordari' transformed into the Old French word 'recorder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'record.'

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to pause or stop temporarily,' and 'record' meant 'to remember or recall.' Over time, 'intermittently-recorded' evolved to mean 'recorded at irregular intervals.'
