Etymology
'regularly-disconnected' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'disconnected'. 'Regularly' comes from Latin 'regula', meaning 'rule', and 'disconnected' comes from Latin 'dis-' meaning 'apart' and 'connectere' meaning 'to join together'.
'Regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regula' through Old French 'reguler', and 'disconnected' evolved from Latin 'dis-' and 'connectere' through Old French 'desconecter'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'according to rule', and 'disconnected' meant 'not joined'. Over time, 'regularly-disconnected' came to mean 'frequently not connected'.
