balanced distribution
Etymology
'proportionately-supplied' originates from the combination of 'proportionate' and 'supply', where 'proportionate' comes from Latin 'proportionatus', meaning 'in due proportion', and 'supply' from Latin 'supplere', meaning 'to fill up'.
'Proportionate' evolved from the Latin 'proportionatus' through Old French 'proportionner', while 'supply' evolved from Latin 'supplere' through Old French 'soupleer'.
Initially, 'proportionate' meant 'in due proportion', and 'supply' meant 'to fill up'. Over time, they combined to describe a balanced distribution.
