Etymology
'irregularly-detached' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'detached', where 'irregularly' means 'not regular' and 'detached' means 'separated'.
'Irregularly' comes from the Latin 'irregularis', and 'detached' comes from the French 'détacher', which means 'to unfasten'.
Initially, 'irregularly-detached' meant 'not regularly separated', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
