Etymology
'occasionally-noticed' is a compound word formed from 'occasionally' and 'noticed'. 'Occasionally' originates from the Latin word 'occasio', meaning 'a happening' or 'opportunity', and 'noticed' comes from the Latin 'notitia', meaning 'a being known'.
'Occasionally' evolved from the Latin 'occasio' through Old French 'occasion', and 'noticed' evolved from the Latin 'notitia' through Old French 'notice'.
Initially, 'occasionally' meant 'at times' and 'noticed' meant 'to observe'. Together, they convey the idea of something being observed at times.
