Etymology
'irregularly-rejected' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'rejected'. 'Irregularly' comes from Latin 'irregularis', meaning 'not regular', and 'rejected' comes from Latin 'rejectus', meaning 'thrown back'.
'Irregularly' evolved from the Latin 'irregularis' through Old French 'irregulier', and 'rejected' evolved from Latin 'rejectus' through Old French 'rejecter'.
Initially, 'irregularly' meant 'not regular', and 'rejected' meant 'thrown back'. Over time, 'irregularly-rejected' came to mean 'rejected in an inconsistent manner'.
