'intermittently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intermittere,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send.' 'Transported' comes from Latin 'transportare,' where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'portare' meant 'to carry.'

'intermittere' transformed into the French word 'intermettre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittent.' 'Transportare' evolved into the Old French 'transporter,' leading to the modern English 'transport.'

Initially, 'intermittent' meant 'to send between,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring at irregular intervals.' 'Transport' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to carry across.'
