Etymology
'regularly-carried' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'carried', where 'regularly' is derived from Latin 'regularis', meaning 'consistent', and 'carried' is the past participle of 'carry', from Old French 'carier', meaning 'to transport'.
'regularly' evolved from Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'reguler', and 'carried' evolved from Old French 'carier', eventually forming the modern English term 'regularly-carried'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a straight line', and 'carried' meant 'to transport'. Over time, 'regularly-carried' evolved to mean 'performed consistently'.
