Etymology
'irregularly-associated' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'associated', where 'irregularly' comes from Latin 'irregularis', meaning 'not regular', and 'associated' from Latin 'associatus', meaning 'joined with'.
'irregularly' changed from the Latin word 'irregularis' and 'associated' from 'associatus', eventually forming the modern English term 'irregularly-associated'.
Initially, 'irregularly' meant 'not regular', and 'associated' meant 'joined with'. Over time, the combined term evolved to mean 'not regularly connected'.
