Etymology
'periodically-evaluated' originates from the combination of 'periodically' and 'evaluated'. 'Periodically' comes from 'period', which originates from Greek 'periodos', meaning 'a way around, a circuit'. 'Evaluated' comes from 'evaluate', which originates from French 'évaluer', meaning 'to find the value of'.
'Periodically' evolved from the Greek 'periodos' through Latin 'periodus' and Old French 'periode'. 'Evaluated' evolved from the French 'évaluer', which was adopted into English in the 18th century.
Initially, 'periodically' meant 'in a cycle or circuit', and 'evaluate' meant 'to find the value of'. Over time, 'periodically-evaluated' came to mean 'assessed at regular intervals'.
