Etymology
'regularly-distributed' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'distributed'. 'Regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis', meaning 'consistent', and 'distributed' comes from Latin 'distribuere', meaning 'to divide or allocate'.
'Regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'regulier', and 'distributed' evolved from Latin 'distribuere' through Old French 'distribuer'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a straight line' and 'distributed' meant 'to divide'. Over time, they combined to mean 'spread out in a consistent manner'.
