Etymology
'regularly-divided' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'divided', where 'regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis' meaning 'consistent' and 'divided' from Latin 'dividere' meaning 'to separate'.
'regularly' changed from the Old French word 'regulier' and 'divided' from the Old French 'diviser', eventually forming the modern English term 'regularly-divided'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a consistent manner' and 'divided' meant 'separated into parts', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
