'intermittently-restricted' originates from the combination of 'intermittent' and 'restricted'. 'Intermittent' comes from Latin 'intermittere', where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send'. 'Restricted' comes from Latin 'restringere', where 're-' meant 'back' and 'stringere' meant 'to bind'.

'Intermittent' changed from the Latin word 'intermittere' to the Old French 'intermettre', and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent'. 'Restricted' evolved from the Latin 'restringere' to the Old French 'restreindre', and eventually became the modern English word 'restricted'.

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between', and 'restricted' meant 'to bind back'. Over time, they evolved into their current meanings of 'occurring at irregular intervals' and 'limited or confined', respectively.
