infrequently created
Etymology
'occasionally-made' originates from the combination of 'occasionally,' derived from Latin 'occasio,' meaning 'a happening or occurrence,' and 'made,' from Old English 'macian,' meaning 'to create or produce.'
'occasionally' evolved from the Latin 'occasio' through Old French 'occasion,' while 'made' transformed from Old English 'macian' to the modern English 'make.'
Initially, 'occasionally' meant 'a happening,' but over time it evolved to mean 'from time to time,' while 'made' has consistently meant 'created or produced.'
