Etymology
The word 'occasionally-visible' is a compound formed from 'occasionally' and 'visible.' 'Occasionally' comes from Latin 'occasio' meaning 'a falling, happening,' and 'visible' from Latin 'visibilis' meaning 'able to be seen.'
'Occasionally' and 'visible' were combined in modern English to form the compound adjective 'occasionally-visible.'
The meaning has remained consistent, referring to something that can be seen at intervals or from time to time.
