consistently inspected
Etymology
'regularly-checked' originates from the combination of 'regularly,' derived from Latin 'regularis,' meaning 'consistent,' and 'checked,' from Old English 'ceccan,' meaning 'to inspect.'
'regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'regulier,' while 'checked' transformed from Old English 'ceccan' to the modern English 'check.'
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a straight line,' but evolved to mean 'consistently,' while 'checked' maintained its meaning of 'inspected.'
