inconsistently supplied
Etymology
'irregularly-provided' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'provided', where 'irregularly' comes from Latin 'irregularis', meaning 'not regular', and 'provided' from Latin 'providere', meaning 'to supply'.
'irregularly' changed from the Latin word 'irregularis' and 'provided' from 'providere', eventually forming the modern English compound 'irregularly-provided'.
Initially, 'irregularly' meant 'not regular' and 'provided' meant 'to supply', and together they evolved to describe something supplied inconsistently.
