Etymology
'irregularly-situated' originates from the combination of 'irregularly' and 'situated', where 'irregularly' comes from Latin 'irregularis', meaning 'not regular', and 'situated' from Latin 'situatus', meaning 'placed'.
'irregularly-situated' combines the words 'irregularly' and 'situated', which have been used in English since the 15th century.
Initially, it meant 'placed in a non-standard manner', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
