Etymology
'regularly-moving' originates from the combination of 'regularly' and 'moving', where 'regularly' comes from Latin 'regularis', meaning 'consistent', and 'moving' from Old English 'mōfan', meaning 'to change position'.
'regularly' evolved from the Latin 'regularis' through Old French 'reguler', and 'moving' from Old English 'mōfan', eventually forming the modern English term 'regularly-moving'.
Initially, 'regularly' meant 'in a straight line', and 'moving' meant 'to change position'. Over time, 'regularly-moving' evolved to mean 'moving in a consistent manner'.
