irregularly confirmed
Etymology
'intermittently' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'intermittere,' where 'inter-' meant 'between' and 'mittere' meant 'to send.' 'Verified' comes from Latin 'verificare,' where 'verus' meant 'true' and 'facere' meant 'to make.'
'Intermittently' changed from the Latin word 'intermittere' and eventually became the modern English word 'intermittently.' 'Verified' evolved from the Latin 'verificare' through Old French 'verifier' to the modern English 'verify.'
Initially, 'intermittently' meant 'to leave off or pause,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring at irregular intervals.' 'Verified' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to confirm or make true.'
