Etymology
'irregularly-monitored' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'monitored'. 'Irregularly' comes from the Latin 'irregularis', meaning 'not regular', and 'monitored' is derived from the Latin 'monere', meaning 'to warn'.
'Irregularly' evolved from the Latin 'irregularis' through Old French 'irregulier', and 'monitored' evolved from the Latin 'monere' through Old French 'moneter'.
Initially, 'irregularly' meant 'not following a regular pattern', and 'monitored' meant 'to watch or check'. Together, they describe something that is not consistently observed.
