Etymology
'occasionally-associated' originates from the combination of 'occasionally' and 'associated', where 'occasionally' comes from Latin 'occasio' meaning 'a happening' and 'associated' from Latin 'associatus' meaning 'joined with'.
'occasionally' evolved from the Latin 'occasio' through Old French 'occasion' and Middle English 'occasion', while 'associated' evolved from Latin 'associatus' through Old French 'associer' and Middle English 'associate'.
Initially, 'occasionally' meant 'a happening' and 'associated' meant 'joined with', but over time, they evolved to mean 'infrequently' and 'linked with', respectively.
