'intermittently-reviewed' originates from English, combining the adverb 'intermittently' (from Latin 'intermittere,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send/let go') and the past participle 'reviewed' of the verb 'review' (from Middle French 'revoir,' ultimately Latin 'revidere' from 're-' meaning 'again' + 'videre' meaning 'to see').

'Intermittently' and 'reviewed' were combined in modern English as a hyphenated compound modifier (adverb + past participle), yielding the adjective 'intermittently-reviewed'.

Initially, it conveyed the idea of something being ‘reviewed from time to time,’ and this sense has remained stable in contemporary usage.
