'regularly-linked' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'linked', where 'regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis' meaning 'consistent' and 'linked' from Old English 'hlencan' meaning 'to join'.

'regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'regulier', and 'linked' from Old English 'hlencan', eventually forming the modern English term 'regularly-linked'.

Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a consistent manner' and 'linked' meant 'joined', and together they have maintained the meaning of 'consistently joined'.
