Etymology
Etymology Information

'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.'

Historical Evolution

'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.'

Meaning Changes

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.'
